Penguins and the Antarctic are facing big problems because of climate change, pollution, and human activities. Some really important organisations are working hard to protect these amazing animals and their icy home. They do this by studying penguins, looking after their habitats, and making sure people know how serious the situation is. These groups also help to create rules that stop the environment from being damaged even more. Their work is really important because it helps to keep penguins safe and ensures that Antarctica stays a special place for future generations.

I am a Year 7 student at school. I decided to make this website because I have a project at school. I really enjoyed making it, along with some help from my dad. If I had the chance, I would 100% make another website. I chose to do it on penguins because ever since I was born, I have just loved penguins, we don’t really know why, but I do! I feel their population is going down rapidly, so I wanted to make everyone aware. Together, we really could save the penguins.

The UK Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) protects and preserves six historic bases along the Antarctic Peninsula. These sites, built between the 1940s and 1970s, are the missing link between the Heroic Era structures of Scott and Shackleton and the modern-day scientific stations. These iconic structures were left empty for several decades, until the establishment of UKAHT in 1993. Since then, we have been working to conserve and care for these sites to make them safe, secure and accessible for visitors from around the world.

The Last Glaciers

The Last Glaciers

The most comprehensive film ever produced about the relationship between climate change, mountain environments, and glaciers. Filmed over seven years in twelve countries, The Last Glaciers captures the fragility of the natural world, the impact humans have on our life support systems and the friendship, personal challenges and tragedies experienced by the explorers during their journey.

SCAR

SCAR

The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) is a thematic organisation of the International Science Council (ISC). SCAR logo blue transparentSCAR is charged with initiating, developing and coordinating high quality international scientific research in the Antarctic region (including the Southern Ocean), and on the role of the Antarctic region in the Earth system. The scientific business of SCAR is conducted by its Science Groups which represent the scientific disciplines active in Antarctic research and report to SCAR. In addition to carrying out its primary scientific role, SCAR also provides objective and independent scientific advice to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings and other organisations such as the UNFCCC and IPCC on issues of science and conservation affecting the management of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean and on the role of the Antarctic region in the Earth system. SCAR’s history looks back at six decades of successful international collaboration. Since its first meeting in The Hague on 3-5 February 1958, SCAR has grown an international network of thousands of scientists who share a common ambition to carry out Antarctic science for the benefit of society.

Why the Antarctic is so important The huge frozen landmass at the bottom of our planet is more than just spectacular icing on the globe. It could be vital for our survival too. The Antarctic ice deflects some of the sun’s rays away from the Earth, keeping temperatures liveable. Although it’s not predicted that the massive Antarctic ice sheets are likely to melt completely, even small-scale melting would raise global sea levels, and cause flooding around the world. The ocean surrounding the continent also support masses of the world’s sealife – including 15 species of whale and dolphin, and five species of penguin. The nutrient-rich waters encourage blooms of tiny plankton, the basis of the ocean food chain. Antarctica is one of the world's most important ‘natural laboratories’ – which is why so many scientists brave the cold to work there. As well as helping us understand global climate change now, the unique archive locked in Antarctica’s thick ice sheet tells us what our planet's climate has been like over almost a million years.
