MOTAT is proud to present its latest exhibition ‘900 South - Sir Edmund Hillary and the NZ Antarctic Expedition 1956-8’, which tells the story of the extraordinary Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition led by Sir Ed.
The exhibition explores two main themes – ‘Hellbent for the Pole’, the story of Sir Ed’s determination and his capacity for planning; and ‘Striking a Chord’, Sir Ed’s place in New Zealand as a national hero. The exhibition also features one of MOTAT’s most treasured artefacts – Sir Ed’s modified Ferguson tractor, one of only three used by Sir Ed and his team to cross the South Pole on this expedition.
‘90° South’ appropriately opens on Monday 20 July – Sir Edmund Hillary’s birthday. There are no extra charges for visitors to enjoy ‘90° South’ at MOTAT.
