A WORLD-CLASS TOURIST DESTINATION

INSPIRED BY THE LOCALS
WHO CONQUERED ANTARCTICA

LOCATED ON THE COAST
OF CORK OR KERRY

The South Pole Explorer Centre will celebrate the spirit of adventure that has prevailed in these Celtic lands since the dawn of time. It will shine an informative, entertaining, and educational light on the local Irish icons that helped shape history.

Part story-telling, part science, 100% fun – it’s a destination with something for people of all ages. Travel through the heroic age of Antarctic exploration with engaging exhibits and immersive experiences. Discover the land of ice in Exploration Hall or get hands-on with the full-size replica of the famed James Caird boat – hopefully built by the last wooden boat builders in Ireland! Discover a culinary experience at Shackleton’s hut inspired restaurant or shop for explorer-inspired exclusives at the supply store.

William Butler Yeats once said, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” This is where educational synergy comes alive, with the Climate Research Centre – ideally sponsored by an organization and in partnership with an Irish university.
