The official Bluesky feed from the Government of the British Antarctic Territory, with full recognition of Article IV of the Antarctic Treaty.

"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 1/3

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.

We are excited to join the Waddle! A special valentines shout out to everyone engaged on polar science, policy, engagement and protection here on Bluesky, let's share the love 💙🐧🔬📝
