The first building at New Zealand's Scott Base is now available to tour in virtual reality. 

The construction of Hillary’s Hut during the summer of 1956–57 marked the foundation of New Zealand’s Scott Base. Antarctic Heritage Trust invites you to explore Sir Edmund Hillary’s Antarctic hut through a new, ground-breaking virtual reality (VR) experience. The experience provides insight into how the 23 men of Sir Ed’s team lived and worked in the world’s most extreme environment more than 60 years ago.

We will have two virtual reality stations set up for visitors to take part in the experience, which takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Celebrating New Zealand's first presence in Antarctica and one of our greatest heroes, this interactive and immersive experience brings Antarctica and its history to Kiwis in a unique and exciting way.
