These two sculptures by Stephen Walker, at the water's edge next to Victoria Dock, symbolise Tasmania's Antarctic connections and capture something of Hobart's links with the heroic days of Antarctic exploration.

Heading South recognises English explorer James Clark Ross (1800-1862). From Hobart in 1840, Ross sailed south in his two ships, Erebus and Terror, to discover Antarctica's Victoria Land and the sea and ice shelf that both carry his name. On his return Tasmania and its governor Sir John Franklin - also a polar explorer - treated Ross and his men as true Antarctic heroes.
