After a false start being turned around mid-air on Tuesday, the Prime Minister has touched down in Antarctica.
Despite being the nation's leader, Jacinda Ardern will be expected to pull her weight, eat all her food and do the dishes, just like when you are on a marae and a tea towel comes flying your way.
The visit from the Prime Minister to Antractica is in celebration of Scott Base's 65th anniversary, and is set to be an action packed 48 hours.
Reporter Leonard Powell spoke to some hearty Scott Base staff in anticipation of the visit.
