Australian Citizenship Ceremony in Antarctica

What’s the coolest way to become a citizen of the country you love? Do it in Antarctica of course!

Icebergs, penguins and elephant seals were a unique backdrop for the Australian Citizenship ceremony on the icy continent.

Plumber Terry Barrell recited the Australian Citizenship Pledge on the shore of Prydz Bay in front of Australia’s Davis research station in the Australian Antarctic Territory.
