About Antarctic Ambassadors
Celebrate antarctic ambassadorship day with us on April 24th!
Antarctic Ambassadorship Day is a global event to celebrate our incredible community of ambassadors and their achievements.
On this day, we honour ambassadors by acknowledging the actions they’ve taken in the name of Antarctic ambassadorship. By sharing your stories of ambassadorship, we can inspire others to begin their journey in advocating for Antarctica.
