New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust

The New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust is an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting the historic sites and artifacts related to human activity in Antarctica. It was established by the New Zealand government to maintain important early 20th-century huts and equipment from explorers like Sir Ernest Shackleton and Robert Falcon Scott. By conserving these sites, the Trust helps ensure that future generations can learn from and appreciate the history of Antarctic exploration. It also promotes responsible tourism and research, working closely with international partners to safeguard Antarctica’s cultural and environmental heritage.
