A man in a red jacket sets up a camouflaged camera on a rocky, snowy mountain in Antarctica, with two penguins standing nearby. Antarctic Logistics and Expeditions support is evident amid the snow-covered peaks in the background.

In the Spotlight – Tom Hart

By Media General Interest, Science

Penguinologist Tom Hart loves penguins and is working hard to develop conservation strategies for them. So when he got the opportunity to visit an emperor penguin colony with ALE last year he jumped at the chance. We caught up with Tom recently to ask him about that experience and about…

Adventure Meets Science en Route to the Pole

By Media Expeditions, General Interest, Science

The Willis Resilience Expedition is a two-part Antarctic expedition, involving both scientific discovery and human endurance. 19-year-old explorer Parker, a sophomore at Yale University, and his team will conduct a coast-to-pole-to-coast survey, covering thousands of kilometers of untested Antarctic territory. Their data will contribute to a deeper understanding of global climate patterns. The Science…

Future of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet

By Media General Interest, Science

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is one of the key polar scientific puzzles for projecting the consequences of climate change. WAIS holds a potential 11-20 feet (3.3-6 meters) of global sea level rise and is inherently unstable because it is grounded on rock that lies well below sea level.

Lake Ellsworth Project called off

By Media Antarctic Environment, General Interest, Science

In the early hours of Christmas Day (Tuesday 25 December 2012) Professor Martin Siegert, Principal Investigator of the Subglacial Lake Ellsworth experiment, confirmed that the mission to drill into the lake has been called off for this Antarctic season. Subglacial Lake Ellsworth Project Called Off Drilling had been proceeding well,…
