Happy Earth Day 🌍 At the IPF reducing our carbon footprint is one of our core principals! The Princess Elisabeth Antarctica is to date the only renewably powered polar research station, although it has been operational and supporting science since 2009! #earthday🌎

The coolest and clumsiest animal on the planet is most likely the penguin 🐧 In fact, there are 19 different species, some of which have evolved to thrive on the nutrient rich waters of Antarctica where they must all band together in colonies to survive winter. #WorldPenguinDay
