The Antarctic Treaty, widely regarded as one of the most successful achievements of international cooperation, was signed on 1st December 1959. To honour this historic agreement, the global polar community celebrates Antarctica Day every year on 1st December.
To celebrate Antarctica Day 2024, we invite you to explore a variety of events and activities happening within SCAR and the broader community.
This year, as we mark Antarctica Day 2024, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our new account on Bluesky, where we’ll share updates, insights, and resources to keep our community connected and informed. Follow us there to stay up to date with the latest developments and opportunities in Antarctic research and science-policy.
Additionally, we’d like to highlight two key recent publications that might be interesting to the Antarctic community:
- SCAR Open Science Conference 2024 Book of Abstracts: This comprehensive volume brings together the latest research presented at the SCAR Open Science Conference 2024, held Pucón, Chile, earlier this year.
- International Polar Year (IPY) Updated Concept Note: This updated concept note reflects on past IPY achievements while paving the way for the upcomiong International Polar Year 2032-33.
