gift to Antarctica. By supporting us, you can help conserve historic
buildings and artefacts in Antarctica and contribute to the protection
of its unique natural environment and wildlife. Every donation and

exciting community and cultural programmes to share Antarctica’s
story.
With your help, we can preserve the past to protect the future of Antarctica.
How to support our work
Special Appeal
We need your help
Antarctica’s historic buildings are unique in the world, but they are vulnerable. Warmer, wetter conditions threaten the survival of these sites, and we must act now. We need your help to deliver conservation at some of the most challenging and remarkable places on Earth.
Adopt A Penguin
Follow a unique colony at the end of the world
Our story starts at Port Lockroy on the tiny Goudier Island on the Antarctic peninsula where we run the world’s southernmost post office, surrounded by incredible scenery and 1,000 gentoo penguins. The colony made their home with us on the Island over 30 years ago and we have been studying and contributing to their protection ever since.
