Step inside Sir Edmund Hillary’s Antarctic hut.
## About This Game
New Zealand-based Antarctic Heritage Trust partnered with Auckland University
of Technology (AUT) to create a ground-breaking virtual reality experience of
Sir Edmund Hillary’s Antarctic hut. A fully immersive experience, which
includes a guided tour through the hut, it celebrates what Hillary’s 23-man
team achieved in their mission to further science and exploration in the
world’s most extreme environment.
The Trust recently finished conservation work on the building and is pleased
to be able to share this iconic part of Antarctic history and important
cultural heritage site with people around the world.
This virtual reality experience celebrates New Zealand’s first presence in
Antarctica as part of the Trans-Antarctic Expedition and International
Geophysical Year and shares what life was like on the ice.
Explore the Antarctic Heritage Trust website (nzaht.org) for more information
about Sir Ed and his team’s expeditions in Antarctica. Learn more about the
pioneering science, Sir Ed’s expedition to the South Pole, Antarctic wildlife,
dogs on the ice and Antarctic Heritage Trust’s work conserving this iconic
piece of New Zealand history.
The Trust gratefully acknowledges principal sponsor Ryman Healthcare, as well
as Antarctica New Zealand (logistics partner) and Staples VR (developer).
