The Dash on it's second flight back north this season. The Dash will fly the Punta Arenas to Rothera leg over 30 times this year bringing support staff and scientists onto the continent. It'll also do some supply runs to Sky Blu and conduct Aero Surveys. British Antarctic Survey 🐧

Flying into Rothera research station. Can you spot the runway (bottom left)? Check out Sheldon #glacier on the right. It’s been increasingly receding over the last decades, tracked by British Antarctic Survey 🐧 scientists via satellite imagery. #frozenplanet British Antarctic Survey 🐧 #Antarctica

Happy faces and cold hands 🥶. Sea water temps: -1.67 C 🧊❄️ Restarting #polardiving 🤿at Rothera after a break during winter. O'Three Ltd #diving #polarscience British Antarctic Survey 🐧

I‘m a #scientist , dig me out of here! ❄️🌨

Celebrating #PolarPride . Diversity and different perspectives form the basis of science and research. Let's celebrate it among the community, not suppress it. Twin Otter landing in the background for good measure. #PolarPride2022 British Antarctic Survey 🐧

25 years ongoing oceanographic data set in coastal waters of the WAP - thanks to the dedication of endless research assistants at Rothera. 500m CTD casts - hand-winch only 💪 collab with UEA Dorothee Bakker #Oceanography

#Weather week: this Automated Weather Station (AWS) set up on Anchorage Island, #antarctica measures temperature + humidity of air + soil, PAR and wind speeds. Gathers data for terrestrial experiments in the area. Needs calibrating (⬇️fancy barometer) and check over once a year.

Last week we came across a non native, drifting bull kelp (Durvillea) in Ryder Bay British Antarctic Survey 🐧 Rafts can transport other non native species to the continent. We found open water goose barnacles (Lepas australis). These are not a threat but harmful invaders can also hitch a ride

Amazing to see our paper published and fully open access for the world to see! Thanks to the illustrious @KRHendry for excellent leadership and the rest of the star-studded team for all contributions to the flotilla!

Asked recently "what is one of your greatest recent accomplishments" well here it is rdcu.be/dbO1F three years of my life into the 2 decades of sustained year round oceanographic measurements on the Antarctic Peninsula has been published terrisouster.com/videos/

My first job out of undergrad where I was part of a long-term data collection for 2.5 years. Beyond the amazing experience, this appointment helped me decide that graduate school was for me. Very grateful to have been included!

To all the women and other people blazing trails for more diversity in Antarctica 💪🏽 theguardian.com/world/2023/may…

Congrats to Dr Ella Gilbert, a climate modeller at BAS, who has won the 2022 Emerging Communicator Award from Royal Meteorological Society 🏆 Ella's a prolific climate science communicator and can regularly be spotted on TV news and on her own socials as Dr Ella Gilbert 💪 ow.ly/Lx0E50Pg4FJ
