Monuments for the End of the World
Drawing on heritage ecologies, this article proposes a role for the environmental humanities in formalizing a shift from predominantly historical to increasingly futures-focused heritage, reflecting the planetary shift from the Holocene to the early Anthropocene. Its geographic focus is Antarctica, a region formally dedicated to peace and science and governed through the Antarctic Treaty System. Historic Sites and Monuments (HSMs) in the Antarcti…
Understanding place attachment to remote environments
The Anthropocene presents unique challenges for humanity's relationship with remote environments. Transboundary environmental problems, such as climate change or plastics pollution, affect places that are beyond most people's direct experience. Mobilising public support on these issues requires people to care about their impact on places they may never visit. While place attachment theory can help us to understand someone's concern for a particul…
Is Antarctica subject to overtourism? Views from expedition ship passengers and workers
Atomic energy for Antarctica
Antarctica is often cast as a last wilderness, untouched by humans and set aside for peace and science. Yet it also has a nuclear past that foreshadowed a shift in human interactions with the continent, away from development and towards protection. This paper examines the discourse around the installation and the dismantlement of PM-3A, the first and only large-scale nuclear reactor to have been used on the Antarctic continent. Affectionately kno…
From gateway to custodian city
Antarctic "gateway" cities have been characterised primarily as portals through which goods and services from around the world can be transported to the frozen continent. However, recent research suggests that this concept should be expanded to address other forms of connectivity, including those felt by people living in these cities rather than simply passing through them. In this article, we explore the meaning of urban relations to Antarctica …
Gendered Power Relations and Sexual Harassment in Antarctic Science in the Age of #MeToo
Antarctica is a remote, historically masculine place. It is also aworkplace, and the human interactions there are connected topower structures and gendered expectations. Today, more thanhalf early career polar researchers are women. However, womenin Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine(STEMM) are also more likely than men to experience sexualharassment during fieldwork making questions of safety, power,and harassment pertin…
What and who is an Antarctic ambassador
The term “Antarctic ambassadorship” is increasingly used to represent an individual’s connection to Antarctica and their subsequent advocacy. However, there is little clarity regarding the concept. To address this, we combined a literature review with an expert elicitation workshop. We argue that (i) the concept of Antarctic ambassador has been understood in myriad ways; (ii) Antarctic ambassadors have a connection to, knowledge of and passion fo…
A decade of shaping the futures of polar early career researchers
The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) is an important legacy of the International Polar Year (IPY). APECS continues to foster engagement in education, outreach and communication (EOC) activities relating to the polar regions and provide training for early career researchers (ECRs). We highlight opportunities for training, leadership and skills development, such as the annual Polar Weeks and Antarctica Day celebrations. Particip…
Recruitment advertising for Antarctic personnel
This paper examines how Antarctica has been depicted in recruitment material, and compares the expectations set up in the advertising imagery with the reality of expeditioners’ experiences. Textual analyses of advertisements and job descriptions are used to reveal dominant themes, including the trope of extremity, while interviews with those who have spent time on the ice provide reflections on the actual challenges encountered when working in An…
American Cows in Antarctica
Few people are aware that dairy cows form part of Antarctic exploration history. Richard Byrd's second expedition of 193335 took with it three Guernseys, ostensibly to provide milk for the men. We outline the cows' Antarctica experience, discussing the way in which their celebrity benefited the expedition and its sponsors. Contextualizing the episode within the cultural history of milk in the US, we suggest some lenses through which the Guernseys…
