The only event of its kind in Australia, the Australian Antarctic Festival celebrates the role of Hobart as one of the world’s pre-eminent gateways to the Antarctic and acknowledges the contribution made by the Antarctic community to both the economy and the social fabric of Tasmania.
Functioning as Australia’s Antarctic port, Hobart is ideally situated to host this biennial festival as it involves the local Antarctic community of scientists, technicians, tradespeople, government agencies and commercial suppliers demonstrating what they do on the frozen continent.
