Mt Erebus disaster: Police story - New Zealand Police Museum, Porirua

On 28 November it will be 40 years since Air New Zealand Flight TE901 crashed into the lower slopes of Mount Erebus Antarctica at 12.49 p.m., killing all on board.

In the hours that followed the sighting of the wreckage of Air New Zealand's Antarctic Flight TE901, police, professionals and volunteers from around the country learned that they would be involved in the crash investigation and assist with the recovery operation.

Many of those working at Scott Base and McMurdo Station would provide invaluable assistance to the investigation and recovery parties.
