UK Antarctic Heritage Trust
Inspired by the need to recognise and conserve Britain’s long and distinguished history of exploration and scientific research, the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust was set up as a charity in 1993.
The UKAHT is responsible for managing and conserving a number of historic British bases within the British Antarctic Territory (BAT). It also aims to:
help conserve British historic sites and monuments on the Antarctic Peninsula for the enjoyment and education of visitors.
support the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust in conserving the historic huts in the Ross Sea area built by the explorers Scott, Shackleton and Borchgrevink;
stimulate interest in the future of Antarctica through education on the inspiration of earlier British Antarctic endeavours;
