Photographer, scientist and writer Louis Bernacchi set sail for Antarctica on the Southern Cross in 1898 and became the first Australian to winter there. The statue shows him taking a selfie with his husky Joe. He was part of Robert Scott's expedition in 1901.
A plaque on the rock behind commemorates explorer James Clark Ross, who sailed to Antarctica from Hobart in 1840.
