"If we save the sea, we save our world!" After living for nearly a hundred years, David Attenborough is sharing his greatest story yet - the story of our ocean 🌊

This must-see documentary is equal parts harrowing and hopeful with a strong message - our ocean can recover

Happy #WorldPenguinDay! 🐧🪶

Today we’re celebrating our favourite Antarctic co-workers. From curious onlookers near our research stations to the subjects of vital ecosystems studies, these charismatic birds are the true icons of Antarctica.

A driving force for change. This morning we met with Antarctic tour operators and scientists to discuss tourism to the continent and a potential framework for all Treaty Parties. Thank you to @hx-expeditions.bsky.social for hosting us and looking forward to continuing discussions 🐧

While #InternationalWomansDay falls on a weekend this year, we are committed to celebrating the success of women everyday! This year we celebrated Jane Rumble becoming our first female Commissioner of the Territory. We hope she is the first of many!

As we gain new followers we wanted to share details about ourselves through #FunFactFriday, the British Antarctic Territory is the largest and most southerly of the UK's 14 Overseas Territories. It was formed on 3 March 1962 and since 1989 it has been administered from London

We're developing a new Map Catalogue where you can access a variety of general interest maps, available with an open licence!
 
You'll also be able to browse our published maps and BAS staff members can access these and other restricted internal maps 🥳
 
What Polar maps would you like to see here?
A mosaic showing six small maps of regions in Antarctica and South Georgia. These are examples of the maps that will be released in the catalogue.
