Discover the latest information about our 2025-26 Field Season
This season, SAEF field teams will head south to a region experiencing abrupt and interlinked changes that require globally collaborative science to understand and address.
The fieldwork completed this summer will further our understanding of how Antarctica’s ice, oceans and ecosystems are changing and deliver critical evidence to inform policy and secure the region’s future.
