Flags return from Antarctica

Back in November the winning flags designed by Year 7 students were sent on a journey to Antarctica to celebrate Antarctica Day. They have now reach their destination and have had quite a journey. One of our flags was taken to Rothera Research station by Pati Glaz, a marine biologist with the British Antarctic Survey. Pati is over-wintering at Rothera, this means that she will be in Antarctica when it is 24 hours of darkness! The other was taken to Antarctica by the Australian Antarctic Program on the RSV Nuyina. To find out more about the ship visit https://www.antarctica.gov.au/antarctic-operations/travel-and-logistics/ships/nuyina/ and the photograph was taken near the Denman Glacier https://www.antarctica.gov.au/science/climate-processes-and-change/antarctic-palaeoclimate/denman-terrestrial-campaign/

It is an absolute pleasure to watch our amazing young geographers work be displayed in such a unique environment.
