Antarctica and the Southern Ocean is one of Earth’s most spectacular and wild places.
A vast landscape of eternal ice, where thousands of glaciers stretch out to meet the deep blue waters of the great Southern Ocean.

It’s home to an amazing array of wildlife such as penguins, seals, whales, albatross and krill.
It acts as a thermostat for the entire planet and plays a critical role in regulating our climate system.

The tiny krill that swim through its wild waters underpin the entire marine food web of the Southern Ocean.
This glacial continent stands for community, collaboration, science and the importance of caring for our wild places.
However, Antarctica and the Southern Ocean is facing immediate industrialisation, fisheries, tourism and climate impact threats.
Antarctica is meant to be a natural reserve dedicated to peace and science, where the rights of nature prevail.
