International Antarctic Centre

Christchurch is the major send off point for many countries conducting research in Antarctica. When we arrived in Christchurch we visited a "museum" which featured excellent displays and information about Antarctica.





The centre serves as a sanctuary for blue penguins that due to injury are not able to survive in the wild. These penguins are very small, maybe one foot tall, and much smaller than those we saw in Antarctica last year.

Feeding time....
