About Rothera

Hello, Uncle François here (this name makes me feel old... but never mind! :-) ).

First, note that the small maps which appear at the top left hand corner of some blog entries are clickable. You will be directed to a new page with a Google Map centred on Jo's location. You can then zoom to "street level".

Now, about Rothera... For those who are curious about the time difference, I have been told that there it is GMT-3.

BAS has pages about the different stations in Antarctica. For example, on this one, you'll find the current temperature & wind information as well as some photos of the station facilities. Some more photos are available here.

There are also 2 webcams with regularly updated views.

Last but not least, in the Daily Images section, you can vote for the Penguin of the Day. The 2 favourites at the moment are:


Let's hope that one of the future top photos from this category is brought back by Jo!
