It has been 200 years since the first sighting of Antarctica. To mark this anniversary - and Antarctica Day - the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust have made a series of three short films as part of their #antarcticainsight programme.
Alongside films featuring ice swimmer Lewis Pugh and photographer Neill Drake, I was delighted to be asked to speak about the inspiration that can be drawn from Antarctica's past to inform our future. It was great to share some memories of my time working for the British Antarctic Survey looking at climate and ozone but also to talk about the Antarctic Treaty which was signed 61 years ago and is a great example of what the human race is capable of when we put our minds to it.
You can see all three films on the UKAHT website along with lots of great content to mark the anniversary.
