Head down to Hobart's waterfront, Australia's Gateway to Antarctica, to find the last outpost before you hit "The Ice." Like Antarctica itself, Hobartica is a meeting place for international cultures and polar traditions. Dive into icy polar plunge pools. Warm up in wood-fired Finnish tent saunas. Then settle into the Antarctic Lounge to chat with a phenomenal range of Antarcticans, and enjoy nightly live music, immersive projections, and Antarctic cocktails.

But wait, there's more! Hobartica 2025 will offer a fresh season of polar encounters. Will there be geodesic domes, aurora shows, night ferries, and a kriller crustacean party? We're glad you asked. Full Hobartica program out soon.
