by Maricar on January 18th, 2007

After her trip to the Falkland Islands, Princess Anne went on to an 8-day visit to the British Antarctic Territory. Part of her trip is to see the work of scientists at the British Antarctic Scientific Base in Rothera.

On board the ice patrol ship HMS Endurance, The Princess Royal is the first member of the royal family to visit the territory in 50 years. Her Royal Highness will also visit a US scientific station and a Ukrainian research base.

These photos were taken on January 15. The Princess will be in the Antarctic until January 21, after which she will go to Chile.
