Expeditioner hub

Are you travelling south as an Australian Antarctic Program (AAP) expeditioner?

Your most valuable resource before leaving for Antarctica, sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island or the Southern Ocean is the Expeditioner Handbook. It should answer most of your questions about your upcoming expedition.

There’s also more information on station amenities and operations.

The AAD Separation Guide will help you prepare for your time away from family and friends. More information to assist can be found on our Liaison and support page or our Family and friends page.
