Supporting Antarctic Heritage Through Photography

Each year, the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) produces a calendar that brings the magic of the far south into homes around the world. Their 2026 edition is no exception. It celebrates Antarctica’s living spirit, its wildlife, and the remarkable history of those who have lived and worked there.

Supporting Conservation Efforts

The calendar is far more than a collection of striking images. It supports the Trust’s vital conservation work. This work ranges from preserving historic huts left behind by early explorers to caring for artefacts that tell the story of human endeavour on the world’s coldest continent. UKAHT ensures that today’s visitors encounter this heritage with respect and understanding. They connect the challenges of the past with those of the present.

Our Contribution to the Calendar

I was delighted to contribute some of our photographs to this year’s edition. Lending images to a project that celebrates Antarctica and raises funds to protect its fragile history is a privilege. The frozen landscapes and the wildlife that inhabit them are constant sources of inspiration in our work. It feels important to share that inspiration in a way that also supports ongoing conservation.

A Year of Antarctic Beauty

By purchasing a copy of the calendar, you not only bring a year of Antarctic beauty into your home but also help safeguard a remarkable legacy. The huts, artefacts, and stories preserved by UKAHT remind us that human presence in Antarctica has always been intertwined with courage, curiosity, and care for a place like no other on Earth.

The Importance of Preservation

Preserving Antarctica’s history is crucial. The stories of explorers and researchers who have ventured into this extreme environment are vital to understanding our relationship with nature. Each hut and artefact tells a tale of resilience and discovery. By supporting UKAHT, you contribute to the ongoing efforts to protect these important pieces of history.

How You Can Help
