Ever wondered what an Antarctic deep-field camp looks like? Years of planning goes into setting up a fit for purpose camp like this to support science in the field and keep researchers safe.
Home sweet home from the air! Check out this amazing drone footage of our deep-field Antarctic research camp KIS3 this past field season. Our on-ice team spent up to 6 weeks living here on the grounding zone of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, 860km from Scott Base🎥@AntarcticaNZ https://t.co/ZiIH56mMV4

POV: Running a marathon in Antarctica.
Over 20 Scott Base personnel joined their McMurdo peers to run, ski and bike the McMurdo Marathon course last month. This curious Emperor penguin wanted to join in the action.

At first glance it looks like any Kiwi club ski field – except this one is open for 24 hours, the sun doesn’t go down and it’s the middle of summer ⛷️☀️

The Tangaroa has set sail for Antarctica 🛳️
The science will help to better understand the impacts of climate change on Antarctica’s Ross Sea, and the impacts of a changing Ross Sea on the rest of the globe.

Forget Tōtaranui, Hot Water Beach or Glendhu Bay. How about camping on the sea ice near Scott Base?
We hope everyone has had a relaxing summer break.

Science never takes a break at Scott Base – not even on Christmas Eve. Ross, our elf near the shelf, has been taking measurements on the @niwa_nz Dobson spectrophotometer. It has been measuring the ozone layer directly above Arrival Heights since the 1980s!
