NEW VIDEO: Rothera Wharf Modernisation At the onset of the Antarctic winter British Antarctic Survey’s (BAS) Rothera Research Station bids farewell to 50 construction workers. They have spent the last six months building the first phase of a new wharf for the new polar research ship RRS Sir David Attenborough. The new steel-framed wharf is part of a comprehensive modernisation of the UK’s Antarctic hub. Commissioned by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), this modernisation programme

Goodbye Rothera Research Station, and good luck! 👋 After an unusual extra long season, the RRS Sir David Attenborough has departed the UK’s largest polar research station for the winter. Here are the hardy Wintering team waving off the ship at Rothera Wharf 💙 The station team will live and work at Rothera Research Station alone until October, when they will welcome arrivals by plane and ship for the summer science season. Until then, they’ll be looking after each other and the station alone -
