Next Thursday, 1st December marks 52 years since the signing of the Antarctic Treaty – created "with the interests of science, and the progress of all mankind." Antarctica is not owned by any country and the Treaty is a testimony to international cooperation for the benefit of all. The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) in conjunction with the Foundation for the Good Governance of International Spaces have therefore designated 1st December ‘Antarctica Day’ and will be holding an interactive webinar to celebrate this important anniversary.
With the Centenary of the first man to set foot at the South Pole fast approaching, and our very own Nikki Rickett about to head south yet again for another austral summer (this time on board the luxury vessel Orion), the Antarctic season is now well and truly upon us! Take advantage of some late availability offers and book your own polar adventure now!
