Antarctic Heritage Trust is a New Zealand-based charity with a vision of Inspiring Explorers. Through its mission to conserve, share and encourage the spirit of exploration the Trust cares for the remarkable expedition bases of early Antarctic explorers including, Carsten Borchgrevink, Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Sir Ernest Shackleton and Sir Edmund Hillary.
The early explorers’ stories and journeys are iconic. Through the Inspiring Explorers™ programme, the Trust connects young people with the spirit of Antarctic exploration. From expeditions to the world’s polar regions to unique educational resources, the programme is encouraging young people to grow their ‘Explorer Mindset’.
As we embark on new strategic growth, we’re looking to maintain and expand our strong philanthropic and partnerships to help us to continue our programmes.
