Name Our Icebreaker

The Australian Antarctic Division has extended its competition to name the nation’s new icebreaker until 7 July.

Australian school children have the chance to suggest a name for the new ship and win a flight to the icy continent.

Australian Antarctic Division Director, Dr Nick Gales, said the competition deadline has been extended by four weeks to allow more students the opportunity to enter.

The ‘Name our Icebreaker’ competition has two categories: primary (years 5 and 6) and secondary (years 7 and 8), with classes able to enter their suggested name in a written or video format.

More information on the competition can be found on the Australian Antarctic Division’s website, ‘Classroom Antarctica’.
