You’ve heard about Antarctic sea ice lows - well, here’s the consequences. Over 9,000 emperor penguin chicks from colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea are thought to have died in November 2022. The sea ice they lived on broke up early, before they'd developed waterproof feathers.

The melt rate of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet will increase until the end of the century, even if we reduce emissions. New research led by BAS' Dr Kaitlin Naughten shows that it's now likely unavoidable - even in the best-case scenario. Here's the story ⬇️

The #RRSSirDavidAttenborough has visited the largest iceberg in the world, #A23a 🚢🧊 It's 3,900km2 - so a bit bigger than Cornwall. The epic team on board, including Theresa Gossman, Matthew Gascoyne & Christopher Grey, got us this footage.

Bon voyage! 🚢👋 The #RRSSirDavidAttenborough is setting sail today for the #KangGlac mission, investigating the effects of rapid glacier melt in Greenland on our oceans and climate. Here's BAS science lead Dr Kelly Hogan explaining why this matters for the UK ⬇️

This #WorldWaterDay2023 we're excited to share a new composition from Ewan Campbell inspired by the 21-year journey of the A22a iceberg. It follows the lifecycle of the iceberg from calving to break-up, drawing attention to the threat of climate change. Here’s an extract 🎺
