Page 1 BAS History 1943, secret WW2 mission, Operation Tabarin to secure Antarctic waters and strengthen British sovereignty claims 1944, set up ‘Base A’ at Port Lockroy, Goudier Island, performing daily weather and sea-ice observations, marine biology, geology and surveying 1945, named Falkland Island Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Four bases, increasing focus on science and discovery 1947, Signy base established 1949-52, Norweigan-Swedish-British Antarctic Expedition 1951-57, South Georgia Survey 1955-57, FIDS Aerial Survey Expedition 1956, Halley Base established 1957-58, International Geophysical Year (IGY)

BAS History 1958, Bird Island Research Station established Page 2 BAS History 1958, Bird Island Research Station established 1961, Antarctic Treaty came into force 1962, FIDS renamed the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) 1965, Formation of Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) 1973, BAS moves from London to Cambridge consolidating on a single site 1975-76, Rothera Research Station established 1982, Falklands war 1985, discovery of the ozone hole 1991, Rothera runway constructed opening up intercontinental link to Falkland Islands and South America 2001, King Edward Point Research Station established
