Halley Research Station is open for business! Starting the new #Antarctic summer season off in style, the occasion was marked by the raising of the flag - an honour traditionally bestowed on the youngest member of the station. And what gloriously sunny weather for the job too☀️

Rothera ahoy! 👋 The #RRSSirDavidAttenborough has arrived at Rothera Research Station in Antarctica. This is the ship's first station call of the season. The team have brought fresh fruit and veg, cargo, and people.

Postcard from Rothera has landed! 📬 The latest update includes snow clearing and progress on our Discovery Building at Rothera Research Station, Antarctica❄️ Check out October in numbers 🗓️bas.ac.uk/media-post/oct…

The community at Rothera Research Station in Antarctica came together today at the Memorial Cross, to mark #RemembranceSunday. Looking out over the bay, they laid a wreath and a member of the team played The Last Post on the trumpet.

Tomorrow, Friday, morning the RRS Sir David Attenborough will travel up the Firth of Forth and under the bridges to Rosyth. I hope to get better pics as the weather forecast looks brighter. ETA Forth Bridge is around 11:00, I think. Update tomorrow on timing

There is no silver bullet to improving the completion rate in apprenticeships but BACH has some great ideas of what we can do @AELPUK @LearnWorkUK @AoCDavidH @BACH_President @BACHFEConstruct @educationgovuk @NOCNGroup bach.ac.uk/bach-new-resea…

Get to know our heritage sites! Base E, Stonington Island, (68°11'S, 67°00'W ) is our southernmost base and one of the most idyllic. Stonington operated from 1946 to 1950 and again from 1960 to 1975 before permanently closing. 🔗 Find out more at: ukaht.org/heritage/

Get to know our heritage sites! Base Y, Horseshoe Island, (67°48'S, 67°18'W) was established as a scientific base in 1955 and closed in 1960. Research carried out here included geology, meteorology and topographic surveys. 🔗 Find out more at: ukaht.org/heritage/

Bon voyage! 🚢👋 The #RRSSirDavidAttenborough is setting sail today for the #KangGlac mission, investigating the effects of rapid glacier melt in Greenland on our oceans and climate. Here's BAS science lead Dr Kelly Hogan explaining why this matters for the UK ⬇️

Lose yourself for 90 seconds in this beautiful timelapse ❄️ These are the daylight hours of Antarctic winter, captured by Billy Thursfield. He's part of the team at Rothera on the Antarctic Peninsula, looking after the research station and our long term science data.

The sun might not be making an actual appearance in #Antarctica any time soon, but it's still putting on a spectacular show. These atmospheric pictures by Billy Thursfield show the beautiful and eerie sunrise at Rothera Research Station as Antarctic winter sets in fast.

There goes the sun 👋🌅 By tradition, the oldest person on the station lowers the flag at Rothera. They're marking the last rise of the sun over the horizon as Antarctic winter sets in. This year Flag Down was led by Campbell Miller, who's working on the new Discovery Building.

The RRS Sir David Attenborough has departed Rothera for the last time this season, marking the start of our winter season and the end of another year of exciting science! Thank-you to our amazing teams that make all this possible 💗 📸Alex Goldsack bas.ac.uk/media-post/ant…
