Traveling to Antarctica

International Antarctic Centre (IAC) Christchurch, NZ

Available Gear What types of warm clothing do you see in the picture?

Statue of Robert Falcon Scott in Christchurch, New Zealand Scott was the second explorer to reach the South Pole in Antarctica!

Flying from New Zealand to McMurdo Base in Antarctica This LC130 aircraft has special landing gear which allows wheeled or ski landings. It needs wheels in New Zealand and skis in Antarctica.

An uncomfortable 8 hour plane ride!

McMurdo Station, Antarctica These are pictures of McMurdo from the airplane.

Arriving in Antarctica!

Where do the people live? Dormitories at McMurdo A dorm room at the South Pole

View of the Landscape

Robert Falcon Scott’s hut (left from 1904)

Inside Scott’s hut The pantry with the original food containers left from The laboratory area in Scott’s hut.

Transportation Helicopters Vehicles on tracks Polar icebreakers

6 months of day 6 months of night

The Ceremonial South Pole Many international flags surround the Ceremonial Pole.

Geographic South Pole This sign and marker are located at the Geographic South Pole.

View from the air of the South Pole Research Station

The Dome The dome is a building where the people live during the long, dark winter. It holds the science facilities, dining and kitchen areas, living areas, communications equipment, library, and post office.

Life at the South Pole The people here work very hard, but there is some time for fun too! Sledding!

Exhaled air freezes immediately The temperature at the South Pole is about -21 degrees C in the summer and -78 degrees C in the winter.

A snowstorm at the South Pole There is very little snowfall in Antarctica, but when it does snow the wind can cause pretty bad storms!

Garbage & Recycling
