About this Publication

Date of Publication17th December 2025Publication TypeNewsletterDescription

This edition of The Explorer newsletter, we highlight two sets of special guests on the Ice this season, including The Trust’s Patron-in-Chief and Governor-General of New Zealand, Her Excellency The Rt Hon Dame Cindy Kiro, His Excellency Dr Richard Davies, and Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage Hon Paul Goldsmith. We were delighted to showcase our work to conserve Antarctica’s remarkable heritage.

We also announce the team for our next Inspiring Explorers Expedition™ to the Antarctic Peninsula, launch our new Minecraft World of Scott’s ‘Discovery’ hut, and share how our partnership with Spirit of Adventure Trust gave South Auckland school students a journey of discovery through virtual Antarctic exploration and hands-on learning aboard a three-masted tall ship.

Be sure to read our last newsletter of the year as we look forward to sharing more incredible stories with you in 2026.

From the Antarctic Heritage Trust team, both on and off the Ice, we wish you Happy Holidays and a great New Year!
