If you were brave enough to face the heatwave in London today you will see the BAT flag flying proudly from the FCDO building. While we enjoy the sun, we thank those who are spending their summer down in the Territory! Happy Midwinter's Day 🐧🥳

10 years. 10 #UKOTs. A global network of #MPAs. Since 2016, the Blue Belt Programme has been a testament to the power of collaboration between the UK & Overseas Territories. To mark the start of our 10th year campaign, we’re sharing highlights from the beginning #BlueBelt10Years

We were delighted to be joined by some of our closest partners for our Annual stakeholder meeting. It was great to hear that everyone had a successful season and we can't wait to see what next year brings!

We’ve relaunched our ‘Discovering the Arctic’ website ❄️ 💻🛷. It's an interactive educational resource for schools for teachers and students, packed with updated content. Explore the site ➡️ https://t.co/VDP6yxVycc Take a look at some images from our launch event yesterday!

It has been great to see the BAT flag flying in sunny Parliament Square this week, alongside all the other Overseas Territories

Wishing Sir David Attenborough a Happy 99th Birthday! We are extremely grateful for his work promoting Antarctica and bringing the amazing continent to homes around the globe 🎂🌍🐧💙

Happy #WorldPenguinDay 🐧 This date commemorates the beginning of Adélie penguins annual migrations. From their breeding colonies to winter foraging grounds and back again, this species travels 13,000 km each year! Footage captured using #BRUVS as part of our GOWAN project.

#EarthDay is a great day to stop and reflect on the unique Antarctic environment. We would love to see some of your favourite Antarctic images. Here are a few of ours to start 🐧🧊🌍

A big chunk has broken away from iceberg A23a, currently grounded at South Georgia. I calculate ~110 sq km. Looks to have fractured sometime on 11/12 April. It will get a @usnatice designation. It should be A23c, unless I'm mistaken.

Why is #DonaldTrump pursuing #Greenland - and what interests do #India, #China and #SaudiArabia have in the #Arctic? @klausdodds @RoyalHolloway tells @srijanapiya17 in #ETEvoke | https://t.co/ZVn0pxXzX3

March 20 marked Antarctica’s last sunset before months of darkness. As temperatures drop and sea ice expands, life adapts—penguins huddle for warmth, seals keep ice holes open, krill slow their metabolism, and fish produce antifreeze proteins. © Dave Walsh
