Goodbye Rothera Research Station, and good luck! 👋
After an unusual extra-long season, the #RRSSirDavidAttenborough has departed the UK’s largest polar research station for the winter.
The station team will live and work at Rothera Research Station alone until October 💙

A couple of hours in Punta Arenas before joining the #RRSSirDavidAttenborough. After 35 hours of travel to get here it is nice to be by the sea. #BIOPOLE2 @bas.ac.uk @biopole.bsky.social

Let the science begin!
Spring has sprung in Antarctica, our aircraft have landed, and #RRSSirDavidAttenborough leaves the UK tomorrow.
This season our teams will deliver more than 60 science projects at research stations, on the ship, and in remote deep field and marine locations.

The #RRSSirDavidAttenborough is in Frederikshavn, Denmark for a summer glow up ☀️
After one of the longest seasons ever for the UK's icebreaker research ship and a voyage through the polar night, it's due some R&R (refit and repair work).

Rothera ahoy! 👋 The #RRSSirDavidAttenborough has arrived at Rothera Research Station in Antarctica.
This is the ship's first station call of the season. The team have brought fresh fruit and veg, cargo, and people.
Here's the atmospheric view from the SDA's webcam!

Only 3 weeks until I head south again to #Antarctica and the #SouthernOcean 2 months on the @bas.ac.uk #RRSSirDavidAttenborough as part of the @biopole.bsky.social expedition.
I will be studying the seafloor creatures and their role in the global carbon cycle and locking away CO2.

2 months is a long time to be on a ship, so you need to think before you pack! Thankfully all my work clothes and equipment left the UK on the ship months ago.... 🐧🐟🐳❄️🦐🐚🌊
