Uncovering the secrets of the polar regions and doing science for a sustainable planet.

Uncovering the secrets of Earth’s frozen places, from the depths of the oceans to the inner edge of space: British Antarctic Survey staff have been living and working in the extremes of Antarctica and the Arctic for over 60 years.

What happens in Antarctica doesn't stay in Antarctica. Our planet’s frozen regions are changing in ways that impact the entire planet, and at a rate and scale we haven't seen before. We're working to understand why, what this means for the inhabitants of Earth, and what we can do about it.
