Generation Antarctica
What if you could step inside one of the most extraordinary places on Earth without leaving home? Join Generation Antarctica, a series of live Antarctic encounters for ages 12–17, and you can!
Explore Port Lockroy with the people (and penguins) who live there
Generation Antarctica is a series of live online encounters connecting young people aged 12–17 directly with the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust team living and working at Port Lockroy, Antarctica.
If selected, you’ll take part in two live sessions from Antarctica alongside a small group of other young people, exploring life at Base A, Antarctic heritage, wildlife and conservation – including the gentoo penguin colony that shares the island with the team.
This is a chance to ask questions, meet the people working at one of the most remote heritage sites in the world and experience Antarctica in a way few people ever get to.

About UK Antarctic Heritage Trust
UK Antarctic Heritage Trust is a charity helping more people to discover, value, understand and protect Antarctica. Through conservation, policy and public engagement, we connect people with Antarctica’s wonder and promote a greater understanding of this extraordinary continent and the role we all have in protecting it.
We are one of the only charities in the world with an active presence in Antarctica. We care for seven Historic Sites and Monuments, including Port Lockroy, the “Penguin Post Office”, Shackleton’s Endurance shipwreck and five early research bases along 1,000 miles of remote Antarctic coastline.
These are modest wooden buildings and personal artefacts, but they hold unparalleled stories. They are completely unique in the world.
Through our public engagement programme, we bring Antarctica closer to people everywhere, from virtual reality tours, podcasts and webinars to schools talks, grassroots arts projects and youth engagement. In 2024/25, we reached 88,000 children and adults through our public engagement work.
