Training & Development

A group of people in bright orange cold-weather gear walk away from the camera across flat snow, seen from behind. On the left, one wears an orange hi-vis jacket, navy trousers, a white bobble hat and a black backpack. The others are in full orange insulated boiler suits with heavy boots, hats and gloves, spread out in a loose line as they head towards a marker flag on the horizon. The sky is pale and overcast. The British Antarctic Survey logo and "Natural Environment Research Council" strapline sit in the top-left corner as part of the banner layout.

She is shown in profile, looking down at her work, wearing a navy and orange insulated jacket, a grey and blue knitted bobble hat and dark sunglasses. Behind her is a flat expanse of snow and ice under a pale sky, with marker flags and faint hills on the left. The British Antarctic Survey logo and "Natural Environment Research Council" strapline sit in the top-left corner.

Social Responsibility (Charity/ Volunteering/Environmentalism)

The image shows the Discovery Building at the Rothera Research Station in Antarctica. It is a large, two-storey modern facility characterised by its striking bright blue exterior, designed to stand out against the stark, monochromatic polar landscape. Architectural Details Structure: The building has a long, aerodynamic shape with a distinct curved roofline on one side, which serves as a wind deflector to prevent snow build-up. Control Tower: A multi-sided, glass-walled control tower sits atop the flat section of the roof, providing a 360-degree view of the station and the surrounding runway and wharf areas. Windows: Rows of rectangular windows line the upper and lower floors, designed to maximise natural light while maintaining high thermal efficiency. Foundation: The building is set on a solid concrete plinth, elevating the metal-clad structure slightly above the rocky, permafrost ground. Surroundings and Context Landscape: The building is situated in a rugged, rocky environment with sparse patches of snow. In the background, jagged, snow-capped mountains and glaciers rise under a pale blue, slightly cloudy sky. Logistics: To the left and right of the building, several colourful shipping containers (blue, orange, and red) and heavy machinery, including a yellow telehandler, indicate ongoing operational and construction activity. Branding: The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) logo—a circular emblem featuring a map of Antarctica—is prominently displayed on the side of the building. The overall impression is one of cutting-edge engineering and resilience, a high-tech "hub" sitting in one of the most remote and extreme environments on Earth.
