From the British Antarctic Survey website: 1« For 60 years the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has been responsible for most of the UK’s scientific research in Antarctica. BAS has its roots in Operation Tabarin, a secret World War Two mission with a dual scientific role. Our history is preserved by the BAS Archives Service, which manages and provides access to records created by BAS and its predecessors – the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and Tabarin. » Our posts regarding the organisation you can find on the BluFly 🛩️ custom feed 2 in reverse chronological order (that is, most recent first):
