We got a peek at what @underthepole.bsky.social is doing in #Antarctica

One big immediate threat to Antarctic wildlife is the overfishing of krill!

When a #KeystoneSpecies like krill is at risk, the impact ripples through the entire ecosystem & threatens species that reply on it as a food source

Sending a huge congratulations to Hari Budha Magar on completing the Seven Summits!

His journey was completed with a final summit of Mount Vinson in Antarctica, and he continues to remind us what’s possible as an amputee.

Plus, the EBTSOYP flag is getting some serious mileage!
