Event Details

Join us at the Antarctic Expo Gateway, where the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) and CSIRO will present interactive displays and exhibits.

  • Chat with Antarctic experts to delve into their work in Antarctica.
  • Immerse yourself in CSIRO’s Investigate, a cutting-edge cinema experience housed in a repurposed shipping container. Feel the excitement of an Antarctic storm, glide through the atmosphere on a data-stream, and uncover the mysteries of the deep sea.
  • Step aboard Australia’s state-of-the-art research vessel, RV Investigator, for a virtual tour without getting wet.
  • Explore Australia’s Antarctic research stations through the AAD’s Antarctic Explorer. Use your smartphone to access Augmented Reality (AR) windows to the icy continent and witness an iceberg up close.
  • Learn about the Australian Antarctic Program and the importance of krill and whales in the Antarctic ecosystem and discover how drilling for a million-year-old ice core is helping to answer crucial climate science questions.

Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to explore the wonders of Antarctica.
