While #InternationalWomansDay falls on a weekend this year, we are committed to celebrating the success of women everyday! This year we celebrated Jane Rumble becoming our first female Commissioner of the Territory. We hope she is the first of many!

As we gain new followers we wanted to share details about ourselves through #FunFactFriday, the British Antarctic Territory is the largest and most southerly of the UK's 14 Overseas Territories. It was formed on 3 March 1962 and since 1989 it has been administered from London

A mosaic showing six small maps of regions in Antarctica and South Georgia. These are examples of the maps that will be released in the catalogue.

We're developing a new Map Catalogue where you can access a variety of general interest maps, available with an open licence!
 
You'll also be able to browse our published maps and BAS staff members can access these and other restricted internal maps 🥳
 
What Polar maps would you like to see here?
