Protecting Antarctic Heritage for Future Generations

Bringing together heritage management professionals from the Australian Antarctic Division, the Mawson’s Huts Foundation, the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust and the United Kingdom Antarctic Heritage Trust, the Antarctic Heritage & Conservation Summit explores the challenges and opportunities of preserving Antarctica’s historic places for future generations.

Through a series of presentations, representatives will examine current conservation projects, emerging research, international collaboration and the management of some of the world’s most remote and fragile heritage sites across Antarctica and the subantarctic region.

From the iconic huts of the Heroic Age to the ongoing stewardship of polar heritage in a changing environment, the summit provides a unique opportunity to hear directly from those working to protect Antarctica’s cultural legacy.

Whether you are a heritage professional, Antarctic enthusiast, researcher, student or simply curious about the frozen continent, this is a unique opportunity to gain insight into the conservation challenges and successes shaping the future of Antarctic heritage.

A must-attend event for anyone passionate about cultural heritage, conservation and polar history.
