Happy (belated) Antarctica Day! 🇦🇶
On 1st December 1959, the Antarctic Treaty was signed, marking a milestone in international cooperation. This historic agreement ensures that Antarctica remains a peaceful, scientific, and pristine place, dedicated to understanding our planet’s past, present, and future 🙏🏼
As we reflect on the first month of our Antarctic season, we’re filled with gratitude for the unforgettable memories we’ve already made in this breathtaking wilderness. From icy vistas to incredible wildlife encounters, the spirit of exploration and collaboration continues to thrive here at the end of the Earth 🌏
