Antarctic
The Antarctic (US English /æntˈɑːrktɪk/, UK English /ænˈtɑːrktɪk/ or /æntˈɑːrtɪk/ and /ænˈtɑːrtɪk/ or /ænˈɑːrtɪk/) is a polar region, specifically the region around the Earth's South Pole, opposite the Arctic region around the North Pole. The Antarctic comprises the continent of Antarctica and the ice shelves, waters, and island territories in the Southern Ocean situated south of the Antarctic Convergence. The region covers some 20% of the Southern Hemisphere, of which 5.5% (14 million km2) is the surface area of the continent itself.
Geography
The maritime part of the region constitutes the area of application of the international Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), where for technical reasons the Convention uses an approximation of the Convergence line by means of a line joining specified points along parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude. The implementation of the Convention is managed through an international Commission headquartered in Hobart, Australia, by an efficient system of annual fishing quotas, licenses and international inspectors on the fishing vessels, as well as satellite surveillance.

Antarctic (ship)
Antarctic was a Swedish steamship built in Drammen, Norway in 1871. She was used on several research expeditions to the Arctic region and to Antarctica through 1898-1903. In 1895 the first confirmed landing on the mainland of Antarctica was made from this ship.
The ship
Antarctic was a barque with three masts and equipped with a steam engine. Build in 1871 at Holmen in Drammen under the name Cap Nor.
Initially Antarctic was used for seal hunting around Svalbard, Jan Mayen and Greenland, under that period the ship was captained by Gullik Jensen and among others Carsten Borchgrevink served on the ship.
In the early 1890s Norwegian ship-owner Svend Foyn wanted to expand his business to the Antarctic Ocean thereby needing capable ships. Foyn then purchased Cap Nor, made extensive repairs and after completion renamed the ship Antarctic. From 1893 the ship was deployed to the Antarctic ocean for whale hunting.
In 1897 the ship was purchased by Alfred Gabriel Nathorst for his planned expedition to Svalbard. Again extensive repairs were made prior to the expedition in 1898.

Extreme Antarctica: We are British Antarctic Survey
In the most extreme places in the world, the most remarkable people are gathering scientific evidence about our changing planet. British Antarctic Survey works to uncover the secrets of Earth’s frozen places, from the depths of the oceans to the inner edge of space. We have been living and working in the extremes of Antarctica and the Arctic for over 60 years. What happens in Antarctica doesn't stay in Antarctica. Our planet’s frozen regions are changing in ways that impact the entire planet, and at a rate and scale we haven't seen before. We're working to understand why, what this means for the inhabitants of Earth, and what we can do about it. --- Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/BAS_News Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BritishAntarcticSurvey Instagram: https://www.instagram.com...

British Antarctic Survey
International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration This joint UK-US research programme aims to improve the understanding of the processes affecting ice sheet stability to predict, with more certainty, the future impact of sea-level rise from Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica. Scientists from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and other institutes will investigate whether Thwaites glacier may collapse in the next few decades or centuries, and how this could affect future global sea-level rise. New knowledge about the glacier’s behaviour currently and in the past is critical for making better predictions of how the ocean and ice will respond to environmental change.

Accidental discovery of extreme life | British Antarctic Survey
February 2021. Far underneath the ice shelves of the Antarctic, there’s more life than scientists expected... During an exploratory survey, researchers drilled through 900m of ice in the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf on the South Eastern Weddell Sea. 260 km away from the open ocean and under complete darkness and with temperatures of -2.2 °C, very few animals have ever been observed in these conditions. But this study is the first to discover the existence of stationary animals – like sponges and potentially several previously unknown species – attached to a boulder on the sea floor. This is the first ever record of a "hard substrate" (eg. a boulder) community deep beneath an ice shelf - and it appears to go against all previous theories of what types of life could survive there. Given the...

This is the first ever record of a "hard substrate" (eg. a boulder) community deep beneath an ice shelf - and it appears to go against all previous theories of what types of life could survive there.
Given the water currents in the region, the researchers calculate that this community may be as much as 1500km upstream from the closest source of light for photosynthesis. Other organisms are also known to collect nutrients from glacial melts or chemicals from methane seeps, but the researchers won’t know more about these organisms until they have the tools to collect samples of these organisms – a significant challenge in itself!

The science we do in Antarctica and the Arctic is about understanding climate change.
Earth’s polar regions may seem remote, but changes there will affect all of us. Across our planet, the climate is warming, biodiversity is declining, and natural resources are being used up. The frozen regions of our planet are experiencing some of the most significant changes, at a rate and scale we haven't seen before. As temperatures rise, ice melts - with consequences for global sea levels, our weather, ocean currents and the capacity of the ocean to absorb heat and carbon emissions.
At British Antarctic Survey, our scientists are working to understand the rapid changes taking place at the poles, and to gather the evidence that decision-makers need to move us towards a sustainable future.

In the most extreme places in the world, the most remarkable people are gathering scientific evidence about our changing planet.
British Antarctic Survey works to uncover the secrets of Earth’s frozen places, from the depths of the oceans to the inner edge of space. We have been living and working in the extremes of Antarctica and the Arctic for over 60 years.
What happens in Antarctica doesn't stay in Antarctica. Our planet’s frozen regions are changing in ways that impact the entire planet, and at a rate and scale we haven't seen before. We're working to understand why, what this means for the inhabitants of Earth, and what we can do about it.

International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration
This joint UK-US research programme aims to improve the understanding of the processes affecting ice sheet stability to predict, with more certainty, the future impact of sea-level rise from Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica.
Scientists from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and other institutes will investigate whether Thwaites glacier may collapse in the next few decades or centuries, and how this could affect future global sea-level rise. New knowledge about the glacier’s behaviour currently and in the past is critical for making better predictions of how the ocean and ice will respond to environmental change.

February 2021. Far underneath the ice shelves of the Antarctic, there’s more life than scientists expected...
During an exploratory survey, researchers drilled through 900m of ice in the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf on the South Eastern Weddell Sea. 260 km away from the open ocean and under complete darkness and with temperatures of -2.2 °C, very few animals have ever been observed in these conditions. But this study is the first to discover the existence of stationary animals – like sponges and potentially several previously unknown species – attached to a boulder on the sea floor.
This is the first ever record of a "hard substrate" (eg. a boulder) community deep beneath an ice shelf - and it appears to go against all previous theories of what types of life could survive there.
Given the water currents in the region, the researchers calculate that this community may be as much as 1500km upstream from the closest source of light for photosynthesis. Other organisms are also known to collect nutrients from glacial melts or chemicals from methane seeps, but the researchers won’t know more about these organisms until they have the tools to collect samples of these organisms – a significant challenge in itself!

A team testing the Windracers ULTRA drone in Antarctica has shared the first video footage of the aircraft flying autonomously over British Antarctic Survey’s (BAS) Rothera Research Station and its nearby islands.
Scientists and engineers, from BAS and Windracers, are testing the uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) in Antarctica to check its suitability for future use. Over the last few weeks the UAV has flown over 720kms collecting scientific data that could enable researchers to widen the range of scientific research they do to understand how Antarctica is being affected by environmental change.
If successful, the new drone platform could represent a major addition to BAS’s scientific capability on the frozen continent – offering the potential to increase airborne science and accelerate research through increasing the current BAS operations.

Our Discovery Building is now weathertight! It's a new scientific support facility being constructed at Rothera Research Station, the UK's largest research and operations hub in Antarctica.
The team of around 54 on-site construction team members have been facing harsh weather conditions to complete this season’s programme of works before their planned departure in April. This timelapse shows the team adding the building's iconic blue cladding, and the new operations tower. When complete, the Discovery Building will replace several older buildings at Rothera Research Station and will support science in the region for at least the next 50 years.
The new Discovery Building will mean the British Antarctic Survey and our research partners can continue to deliver cutting-edge climate, biodiversity and ocean research and innovative science in Antarctica.

Antarctic
The Antarctic (US English /æntˈɑːrktɪk/, UK English /ænˈtɑːrktɪk/ or /æntˈɑːrtɪk/ and /ænˈtɑːrtɪk/ or /ænˈɑːrtɪk/) is a polar region, specifically the region around the Earth's South Pole, opposite the Arctic region around the North Pole. The Antarctic comprises the continent of Antarctica and the ice shelves, waters, and island territories in the Southern Ocean situated south of the Antarctic Convergence. The region covers some 20% of the Southern Hemisphere, of which 5.5% (14 million km2) is the surface area of the continent itself.
Geography
The maritime part of the region constitutes the area of application of the international Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), where for technical reasons the Convention uses an approximation of the Convergence line by means of a line joining specified points along parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude. The implementation of the Convention is managed through an international Commission headquartered in Hobart, Australia, by an efficient system of annual fishing quotas, licenses and international inspectors on the fishing vessels, as well as satellite surveillance.
