Today on International Women’s Day we are celebrating all the women involved within the South African National Antarctic Programme (SANAP).
.
.

The 2021 theme for International Women's Day: "#ChooseToChallenge; A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we are all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Collectively we can help create an inclusive world. From challenge comes change, so let’s all choose to challenge.”
.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY...from the Antarctic Legacy of South Africa. 🇦🇶❤

The ALSA Emperor penguin visited Newberry House on

The ALSA Emperor penguin visited Newberry House on Lourensford, Somerset West.

Over the past few days ALSA had contact with a number of high school learners, as well as 4 elementary classes. They now know all about South Africa’s scientific involvement in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic and we're hoping some of our next generation SANAP scientists will come from this school.
