The British Antarctic Territory lies between 20° and 80° west longitude and stretches from the South Pole to 60° latitude, covering not only the Antarctic Peninsula but also the South Orkney and South Shetland Islands. The most important research station is the Rothera Research Station, which operates with varying intensity but all year round. It also has a runway. The endemic Antarctic Shag lives on the Antarctic Peninsula. This bird guide shows all the bird life in colour (Date 04.12.2024).
