It is a special relationship spanning back 100 years with
Scott’s journey to the pole in 1912 departing from Lyttleton. As the Gateway to
Antarctica for New Zealand and many other countries, in particular the
USA, our relationship with Antarctica is socially, spiritually and economically
significant. Several years ago I had the privilege to spend a week on the
Ice. The majesty of the place is beyond description. I was particularly
struck with the poignancy of Scott’s hut at Cape Evans and the dogs still
chained outside the hut as a legacy to the past!
My advice to anyone, is,
that if you ever get the chance to visit this magic
continent, take it, no matter what. It is an experience of a lifetime.
