The Trust is proud to present exhibitions showcasing artefacts and the stories of the polar explorers whose legacy it cares for in Antarctica.
The Still Life exhibition is based on renowned photographer Jane Ussher’s evocative series of images of Scott and Shackleton’s historic expedition bases published in the acclaimed book Still Life: Inside the Antarctic Huts of Scott and Shackleton. These iconic structures, now cared for by Antarctic Heritage Trust, are associated with some of the most inspirational and harrowing stories in polar history. The exhibition is not currently on display.
Open now! Created by the Antarctic Heritage Trust in partnership with Canterbury Museum, Breaking the Ice: The First Year in Antarctica will be the public’s only chance to see items left behind by Carsten Borchgrevink’s Southern Cross and Robert Falcon Scott’s Terra Nova expeditions in two huts at Cape Adare. The exhibition runs until 13 October 2019.
An online version of the exhibition is available to view here.
An online exhibition featuring images and diary excerpts from 2019 Inspiring Explorers Alexander Hillary and Marco de Kretser taken during the team’s kayaking expedition. This collection provides an insight to the impact Antarctica had on these two young men. Marco’s accompanying soundscape ‘The Frozen Wild’ was created from recordings Marco made in Antarctica.
