UKPN Antarctic Flags project

Calling all Antarctic researchers and staff! Are you travelling to or over-wintering on Antarctica this year (November 2020 - January 2021)?

If you are heading to Antarctica or any of the surrounding Antarctic islands this winter, we would love your help with our UK Polar Network Antarctic Flags project!

All we ask is that you take some flags (however many you are willing to take) sent to you as a .pdf or .jpg and photograph them in Antarctica as proof that they have made it there. How you choose to do this is totally up to you, you can be as creative as you like! We will then ask you to send them back to your UKPN committee contact who will arrange sending these back to the schools.

Are you a school teacher interested in getting your class/students to design and send a flag to Antarctica?

Please register your interest for this project at the link below by October 31st 2020.

For more info, please visit https://polarnetwork.org/2020/10/join-us-for-antarctica-day-2020/ or get in touch at antarctica-day@polarnetwork.org.

Many thanks,

Jennifer (UKPN Antarctic Flags coordinator)
