Welcome to our Operation Tabarin 80th anniversary page!

Illustrated with content from the BAS Archives – photos, film, reports, journals and personal diaries – the below themed pages reveal more about this important expedition. They provide a uniquely detailed account of the expedition and the nature of Antarctic scientific research at this time, created by those involved.
