Let your imagination run riot as you walk around the Antarctic Expo.
You will stroll among much of the equipment used in the harsh Antarctic environment including LARC, Haaglund tracked vehicles, boats and helicopters that brave the icy terrain.
Bring the family to enjoy the interactive and engagement activities of these organisations.
You may even picture a future ‘you’ operating one of these vehicles on the frozen continent to our south.
