1️⃣ Like a heartbeat driving one of the largest seasonal cycles on Earth, Antarctic sea ice is central to the global climate system and vital for unique ecosystems.

On Thursday, I attended the British Antarctic Territory's annual stakeholder meeting, representing @ukpolarnetwork.bsky.social. It was a great opportunity to think about new collaboration opportunities to promote polar research, and share UK Polar Network's excellent work this year
