POLAR PATHWAY WALK

Explore Hobart’s long and ongoing fascination with the great Southern Ice! In 1840 the handsome Captain James Clark Ross took two fragile wooden sailing ships into the – then – literally Unknown, and returned to great acclamations and the grandest ball Hobart had seen to date. Many others left this port to risk their lives in further exploration, and Amundsen himself returned here after being the first to finally reach the fabled South Pole. Hear stories of high hopes and great adventures.
