New mural highlighting city's link to Antarctica

Christchurch’s status as a gateway to Antarctica is being celebrated through a variety of events this month.

Days of Ice will showcase more than 30 events and activities from polar films, audio tours, family days and exhibitions from October 8 to 18.

The series is being run by ChristchurchNZ and includes two new murals in the central city, including one outside Novotel Hotel in Cathedral Square.
