Audio Guide 

This is as close as most of us will get to the real South Pole. This interactive experience takes you on a journey of discovery, into the harshness of early Antarctic explorations, and the beauty of Antarctica's scenery and wildlife. Take a ride in a snowmobile and experience real wind chill and snow. View a working Antartic campus to see just what it takes to plan and organise a journey to this hostile, but beautiful continent. The Antarctic Centre makes education fun. Be sure to set aside up to three hours to fully explore the centre. Check website for further details.
