Christchurch’s official city hub to connect and excite people and organisations around the city’s unique Antarctic heritage and future opportunities across community, business, tourism, science and education.

Five cities around the world are recognised as Antarctic gateways: Christchurch, New Zealand; Cape Town, South Africa; Hobart, Australia; Punta Arenas, Chile; and Ushuaia, Argentina. This Antarctic connection helps to shape the cultural, political and economic aspects of these cities.
