The Antarctic Infrastructure Modernisation Programme commissioned by the Natural Environment Research Council will enable a world-leading capability to ensure that Britain remains at the forefront of climate, biodiversity and oceanographic research in Polar regions. Through the programme, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is enhancing station facilities. The upgrade of the wharf at King Edward Point in the Sub-Antarctic region will allow the new and highly advanced polar research vessel RRS Sir David Attenborough to berth.
