“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it” - inspiring talks from @RCEMevents on creating a #greenerEM - thank you! I’m starting small today by pumping up my bike tyres….
1st Form had a great time in Cambridge @scottpolar Museum where the saw the fossilised leaf discovered by H.T.Ferrar (OO) on the Ferrar Glacier in Antarctica, heard @_ekatedillon (OO) talk about her experience working at Rothera @BAS_News & had fun with expedition kit! 🔬🐧🗺
We did it! Nearly 70 runners from across Antarctica teamed up to run for an hour to raise money for @WWF_UK. Our target was 250km - we smashed it and ran 605km!! Visit https://t.co/wLknftdCCO to find out more #FightForYourWorld#ThePandaMadeMeDoIt#Antarctica

I remember taking this photo - it was a freezing cold night over winter, doing star jumps to keep warm during long exposures. It was on night shifts on a 3am walk along the runway! (Photos from my insta @doctorinantarctica). Thanks @AntarcticReport!

Bergy bits at Rothera Station, drifting up against Biscoe wharf, named after the @BAS_News ship which bore the name of the English navigator who discovered Adelaide Is in 1832. The term 'iceberg' refers to chunks of ice larger than 5m across, pic @_ekatedillon@NERCscience

McCallum’s Pass, the access route to the far side of Adelaide Island, is littered with crevasses, concealing huge tunnels, caves and archways – many dwarfing the field personnel #Antarctica, pic Kate Dillon @BAS_News@NERCscience
#Antarctic#Photography fans - I can hightly recommend the insta accounts @doctorinantarctica and @ritchiesoutherton_photography for daily photographs from #Antarctica and a slice of daily like at Rothera Research Station
