United States Navy Icebreaker Open Day at Lyttelton in 1955. As the 2016 Antarctic season opens, this is a reminder of the length of the association between Christchurch and the U.S. Antarctic progamme.
Highly commended entry in the 2012 Christchurch City Libraries Photo Hunt. The judges commented that “This colourful and action-packed shot shows the strong and enduring connection between Christchurch people and those heading down to the Antarctic.”
