Christchurch City Antarctic Walk

A guided walk around the places in central Christchurch that have some significance, to Antarctica, Antarctic history, or highlight the city’s links to the Ice.

Join us on a guided walk around the places in central Christchurch that have some significance to Antarctica, Antarctic history, or highlight the city’s links to Antarctica. The walk is hosted by members of the NZ Antarctic Society, who will talk about the particular things or sites that they have insights or knowledge about – prepare to be pleasantly surprised by what’s in Christchurch and some of the stories behind them.

The walk will be about 3.5km and take 21⁄2 hours, of which about 45 minutes will be walking time (and an opportunity to chat with the guides).

Weather: If the weather looks terrible, we will cancel the event. Notifications will be sent to all registered walkers and announced on the NZAS Facebook page.
