About Antarctica New Zealand
Antarctica New Zealand is the government agency responsible for carrying out New Zealand’s activities in Antarctica supporting world-leading science and environmental protection. They work to ensure Antarctica’s environment continues to be protected, that scientists are supported to find the answers to complex scientific questions, and science outcomes are communicated back to policy makers and the public.
Christchurch is one of only 5 Antarctic Gateway cities around the world and therefore a key Antarctic logistics hub. Christchurch serves as the gateway to the Ross Sea Region with New Zealand, United States, Korean, and Italian Antarctic programmes all operating through here. Passenger and cargo flights depart Christchurch airport throughout summer with a couple of scheduled winter flights, while there is an annual cargo vessel departing Lyttelton each season.
