People Of Antarctica

Meet Our Antarctic Ambassadors

Our connection to Antarctica is not just about geographic location - it's about people and purpose.

They work in logistics and manufacturing. They're scientists and researchers. Pilots. Engineers. Chefs. Innovators. Inspiring Young Explorers. They're all kinds of people.

We're proud to showcase the diverse bunch of Ambassadors that use Ōtautahi Christchurch as their gateway to the ice - each with a unique Antarctic story behind them.
