” Greetings from Antarctica and Happy (belated) Antarctica Day!
I’m Ali, I work as the Bonner laboratory manager at the British Antarctic Survey’s Rothera Research Station, Adelaide Island on the Antarctic Peninsula. I was delighted to receive the task of photographing your flags to celebrate Antarctica Day. There were some excellent drawings depicting all aspects of Antarctic wildlife, landscape and science.
I live at Rothera for 5 months of the year during the Antarctic summer (Nov-Mar). I assist the scientists with their projects and am part of the marine team which means I assist with the boating and scuba-diving. I hope you’ve all enjoyed learning about Antarctica.
Best Wishes,
Ali Massey”
We have had an update from the researcher in Antarctica who received our flags
We were all super excited in class 2 to finally receive the pictures of our flags in Antarctica, what a long journey they have been on! To help celebrate this achievement, and spread the message of the Antarctic Flags Project, the children successfully gave a presentation to the rest of the school during Monday’s assembly – Well done Class 2.
