[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

My new series "Universe" starts tonight on @BBCTwo at 9pm. The reviewer in The Times called it "deep, profound and a little bit scary". Mind you, the Guardian said they didn't understand it and wrote about D:ream instead, so each to their own I suppose :-) I hope you enjoy it!

Skiing across Antarctica is a very long journey and it certainly doesn't hurt to bring a few friends along for the trek!

[The Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration @danthewhaler]

Sept. 1911 - Scott's (centre standing) whole party (-2) outside the Cape Evans hut. Spring journeys were being made while the sea-ice was still strong and stable, final preparations and plans for the journey to the South Pole were put into place. A time of promise and excitement.

[National Snow and Ice Data Center @NSIDC]

Ice provides historical records about climate cycles, and as #glaciers melt, scientists are working to collect ice cores from them before it's too late. Learn more @Reuters: https://t.co/bLtLzpClBo.

[Deep Sea Conservation Coalition @DeepSeaConserve]

In her new book, “The Brilliant Abyss,” Helen Scales writes about the largely unseen realm of the deepest parts of the #ocean. On this week’s podcast, she talks about the life down there — and how long it took us to realize there was any at all: https://t.co/WQnPE1E9eu @nytimes

“One of the joys of being able to work with the rich archive of the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust and @BAS_News is that you never know what you will find.”

Narrative Designer, @LesleyJohnston_ shares some of her recent archival findings:

[The Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration @danthewhaler]

1902 - The German ship Gauss. Leader Erich von Drygalski ascends in a tethered hydrogen balloon to 490m, he can talk to the ship through a telephone line. "It was so warm up there I could even take off my gloves". Note the large wind tail of snow extending behind the ship.

Innovative tech enables #polar #scientists to make huge advances in knowledge & understanding. We observe the Earth from space, from beneath the ice & deep in the ocean: https://t.co/NrFpLR4B7a

📸 BAS is a world leader in hot water drilling through ice.

Today I was (a very small) part of a brand new Guinness World Record! Alongside 10 British explorers I was on the label of a 1.8m high bottle filled with 311 litres of 32yr old Macallan - the LARGEST EVER BOTTLE OF MALT WHISKY! Congrats @rosewinholdings! @BigNorthPole
