2008 Christchurch Antarctic Festival
26 Sep 2008  - 03 Oct 2008

2008 Christchurch Antarctic Festival
Vivid imagery of the last great wilderness, tales of courage, of pride for the pioneers of the continent and showcasing the research on the ice are to be the highlights of the 2008 Christchurch Antarctic Festival.

Celebrating Christchurch’s century-old connection to the wild continent, the Antarctic Festival seeks to pack in as much fun events and Antarctica-associated features from September 26 to October 3.

Work is underway to offer locals and visitors an exposure to the thrill, the beauty and the yearning that Antarctica has provided for Kiwis for decades. The Antarctic Centre and Christchurch International Airport will be the hub of the Family Day on the September 27 week-end.

Hagglund pulling competitions, playing with huskies, sled rides and inspection of equipment used on the continent, including aircraft used as transport to and on Antarctica will feature at the Family Day. The aircraft and hangar tours are made possible with the partnership of Air New Zealand and its engineering section and the Royal New Zealand Air Force, as well as the US Air Force which is expected to showcase its C-17 Globemaster III strategic airlifter. Ice sculptures, treasure trails and ice sports demonstrations are added attractions.
