Are you going to Antarctica this season & based in the UK? We’re looking for polar explorers to take down a set of digital tech enabled postcards and record their journey along the way. From Antarctica, the postcards will be sent to primary schools in South East London

Then Russian forces took her captive. https://t.co/K3Eb9arY3f

When people ask what me the spirit is like in Kyiv, this pretty much is it, bottled up, in one video.

Oh! Someone’s suggesting @RussianEmbassy hasn’t seen this image. They’re the guys who said the bomb on Mariupol maternity hospital was a fake & the bleeding pregnant women were crisis actors. Would hate for them to miss it!

Only 1/3 of UK’s key fish populations are not overfished.

Very simple solution. Ban supertrawlers and all bottom trawling & fishing in MPAs.

One of the greatest small boat journeys ever?? Definitely a contender for the greatest high latitude voyage and a high scorer in the improbable success stakes! Shackleton's Boat Journey is a great read...

[The Antarctic Report @AntarcticReport]

‘One of the greatest voyages’ #OnThisDay #OTD in 1916, at the end of a 1500km voyage from Elephant Island over 16 days, Shackleton and 5 others landed the 'James Caird' on South Georgia; brilliantly navigated by Frank Worsley
