Our Far South is a project being led by Gareth Morgan and a team of colleagues to raise New Zealanders' awareness of Antarctica & its importance. The Our Far South team have recently been to Antarctica & the sub-Antarctic Islands and Mike WIlkinson presenting a photographic exhibition of what was seen and found there. Alongside the beauty and drama of Mike WIlksinson's photographs, questions will be raised and dialogue will be had regarding the vulnerability of our southernmost continent and our wider world.

Four books that are the culmination of the project will also be launched with this exhibition, including a book of Mike Wilkinson's photography.

Public opening of the exhibition: Thursday 5 July, 5:30pm.

A series of lunchtime seminars will run over the time of the exhibition:

- Thursday 5 July, 12:30pm: Can we save the wildlife of Our Far South?
- Tuesday 10 July, 12:30pm: Is climate change real and have we caused it?
- Wednesday 11 July, 12:30pm: Climate change in Our Far South
- Thursday 12 July, 12:30pm: Can we keep Antarctica dedicated to peace and science?
- Monday, 16 July, 12:30pm: Fishing and Marine Protection in our Far South.
