🧠 The botany of the Antarctic voyage of H.M. discovery ships Erebus and Terror in the Years 1839-1843. v.1. plates London: Reeve Brothers, 1844-60. [Source]
Illustration from "The botany of the Antarctic voyage of H.M. discovery ships Erebus and Terror (1839-1843)" showing four botanical plates featuring detailed drawings of plant specimens. Top left depicts Asterina pelliculosa with green leaves and root structures. Top right shows Asterina darwinii with a large serrated leaf and intricate fungal growths on a network-like structure. Bottom left features Peziza kerguelensis, including orange cup fungi and microscopic spore details. Bottom right illustrates Asterina sutrica with a flowering plant, a green seed pod, and a spherical spore cluster. The plates highlight plant species related to Darwin's Antarctic expedition studies.

*laugh* So, it turns out there is an Antarctic brittle star, Ophiosteira bullivanti that bears more than a casual resemblance to STARYU! #pokemon #echinoday ha ha! 😂

Abrupt and alarming changes in the icy Antarctic region call for urgent measures. We have the means to cut emissions and limit further warming. Geoengineering projects only raise false hopes and divert resources.

Polar warming: Abrupt changes in Antarctic call for emissions cuts not geoengineering
The polar regions are undergoing alarming climate changes, particularly in Antarctica, where ice loss is accelerating. A study warns that geoengineering solutions are unlikely to be effective, distracting from essential emission reduction efforts. Immediate, evidence-based actions are necessary to combat climate change and achieve net-zero emissions to stabilize global temperatures.

Last month was the 5th lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of May This was 930,000 km² below the 1981-2010 May average. Data from the @nsidc.bsky.social at nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

This wiggling blob may not look very exciting, but I’m telling you, it was the highlight of last week for me! This is a Müller’s larva, and is a life stage of some Turbellarians (flatworms) and I have never seen one before! 1/2 🦑 #plankton

This is a map I first started about 4 years ago, and it’s been put down and picked back up about 5 times since then (we’ve all had projects like this!) but I’m so glad to see it finally released! The front cover shows some of the very varied terrain that has been mapped 😍
