		At the BAS Rothera Research Station on the Antarctic Peninsula small acoustic tags (called 'pingers' due to the sound they make) are painlessly attached to the fish and the signals picked up by underwater microphones to monitor position, while data loggers measure heart rate.
		Researchers from the University of Birmingham and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) are investigating the behaviour and physiology of the 'Antarctic Cod' (Notothenia coriiceps) which became isolated from its warmer water cousins around 30 million years ago when the Antarctic circumpolar current was formed.
		The collaborative research is part of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Antarctic Funding Initiative (AFI), which promotes wider participation in Antarctic research by UK universities and other research organisations.

	COMNAP - Stations and Bases - Rothera
		Rothera station is the BAS logistics centre for the Antarctic Peninsula and home to well-equipped biological laboratories and facilities for a wide range of research.
		The station is situated on a rock and raised beach promontory at the southern extremity of Wormald Ice Piedmont, south-eastern Adelaide Island.
		The station has a 900 m crushed rock runway, with an associated hangar and bulk fuel storage facility, and a wharf for the discharge of cargo from supply ships.

	ASPIRE - 1996
		Rothera Point was originally designated in Recommendation XIII-8 (1985, SSSI No. 9) after a proposal by the United Kingdom that the Site would serve as a biological research site and control area against which the effects of human impact associated with the adjacent Rothera Research Station (UK) could be monitored in an Antarctic fulfilled ecosystem.
		Rothera Research Station (.UK) lies about 250 m west of the western boundary of the Site (see' inset on Map 2).
		Monitoring studies undertaken by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) began at Rothera Point in 1976, before the establishment of the station later that year, and have expanded considerably since 1989.

		00:00 Aerial view – BAS Rothera Research Station, Antarctica
		But Researchers from the UK’s University of Birmingham and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) are hoping to do just that - by investigating the behaviour and physiology of a fish that became isolated in the area, when the Antarctic circumpolar current was formed, around 30 million years ago.
		In order to accurately assemble the data they need, researchers must study the fish in its natural environment throughout the course of the year.

	Puzzling height of polar clouds revealed
		To confirm these geographic differences, measurements were taken at British Antarctic Survey's Rothera Research Station, 1500 miles from the South Pole, at the same latitude as measurements made in the northern hemisphere (68°).
		The lidar is now operational at British Antarctic Survey's Rothera Research Station.
		Using a laser radar (LIDAR) to bounce light pulses off the clouds and measure their distance from earth, the researchers demonstrated that even though the clouds were slightly lower at Rothera than at the South Pole, they were considerably higher than at similar latitudes in the northern hemisphere.

		On short notice, NSF recruited a replacement physician, Dr. Betty Carlisle, who is a veteran of two Antarctic winters -- one at the Pole -- and served during the last austral summer as the resident doctor at the McMurdo research station on Ross Island.
		Also, it is considerably easier to bring the smaller quantities of fuel needed to power the Twin Otter to an operating temperature by moving into a heated area of the station.
		The decision to use the smaller planes was made chiefly on the basis of their rated temperature range.
