The British Antarctic Monument Trust has been set up to celebrate the achievements of the men and women whose scientific exploration in the British Antarctic Territory has led to a new understanding of our planet, and to honour those amongst them who did not return.

We are placing a memorial tablet in the crypt of St Paul’s Cathedral and a monumental sculpture, by the sculptor Oliver Barratt, part of which will be in the United Kingdom and part of which will be sited in the South.  We are seeking to ensure that all those who have lost their lives have an appropriate Antarctic place named after them.

Ambassadors
To assist us to organise educational and other activities and to help raise awareness of our work four eminent polar explorers have agreed to being British Antarctic Monument Trust Ambassadors.

They are:
Felicity Aston who has recently returned from an unsupported walk to the South Pole with eight women representatives from Commonwealth countries;
John Killingbeck who is particularly noted for driving the last team of huskies in the Antarctic with John Sweeney;
Paul Rose well known for his television series on exploration and adventure; and
Dr Russell Thompson glaciologist, meteorologist and Antarctic guide.
