Ever wondered what the GPS systems look like that @BAS_News use to track these giant icebergs that come off of the Brunt? Well say hello! (or maybe goodbye?) to the Adios GPS...
Please tell me we're going to call it the #HalloweenBerg. Using the normal nomenclature (#A83) is so dull. This is the third large berg to come off the Brunt in three years. The decision of @BAS_News to move Halley base in 2016/17 looks ever smarter. https://t.co/pZDvoW5sKd
What's that? A new map viewer bringing together all the data of the Antarctic Digital Database? Freely available?!
Go enjoy yourself zooming into bits of Antarctica, map lovers ⬇️

The BAS ✨MAGIC✨ team looks after this project for @SCAR_Tweets.
They say time flies when you’re having fun, and this past year has flown!
Thanks for putting together another awesome training weekend!
It was a great for me to acknowledge all I’ve learnt and contributed since joining @mapaction last year.

There was something very odd in the PM’s speech last night - something which infuses RE in the primary school curriculum too: the idea that everyone in this country is religious in one way or another, when we know from polls that over half the population is not religious. 1/7
We’re looking for new Field Guides to lead science teams in the Antarctic (as well as a tonne of other cool stuff). Check out this fantastic article describing the role (with loads of cool pictures too). https://t.co/AkaOe8tMqe
I’ve spent the past month playing The Good Fairy.
I always said the same thing at the end of the show.
This is me saying it for the last time.
A moment I won’t forget in a rush xx
Check out the exciting roles we have for volunteers this year: from working with the UN or regional disaster agencies, to creating innovative IM solutions for humanitarian responders, there are so many skillsets needed! https://t.co/yW67kPOpOp #MapAction#volunteers
Has everyone forgotten that the HS2 route was proposed by the Conservative Liberal coalition, the project was run entirely under a Tory government, and its failure isn't because of woke, it's because of this absolute bin fire of a government?
BREAKING - #Rosebank oilfield just given go-ahead - the greatest act of environmental vandalism in my lifetime, causing emissions equal to 28 lowest income countries, busting #climate targets & doing nothing for energy security since vast majority is for export #climatecriminals
