New Zealand Christchurch Antartic Centre Last Day

Just outside Christchurch airport is the Internnational Antartic Centre. New Zealand and Christchurch in particular plays an important part in research with Antartica. The centre gives an excellent background into life at the research stations there. They can even play golf and the golf rules are an interesting read.







The centre also acts as a care centre for disabled penguins. They have mainly blue penguins which we saw in the wild.These are the smallest penguins in the world.











They are all tagged and named. They were having breakfast when we arrived.
