PR - Antarctic Society volunteers support heritage carpentry on ice

Antarctica New Zealand has worked in collaboration with the New Zealand Antarctic Society for nearly a decade, enabling many great names in the Antarctic community to have their first experience on the Ice.

Next week, two of these members Tony Thrupp and Gus Anning, will travel to Antarctica to support conservation work currently being undertaken by Antarctic Heritage Trust on Sir Edmund Hillary’s TAE Hut, the ‘Mess Hut’, from the original Scott Base build 60 years ago in 1957.
