The new wharf is designed for the #RRSSirDavidAttenborough and is a major milestone in our modernisation programme to support the UK’s critical scientific research on the polar continent for generations to come. Here is a timelapse of the RRS James Clark Ross on its resupply call to the station. More information on the new wharf: https://www.bas.ac.uk/media-post/new-antarctic-wharf-ready-for-t
