British Antarctic Territory: Diatoms

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0100

The striking images on these stamps are colour enhanced scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographs of four diatom species found in Antarctica. Diatoms are one of the most abundant and diverse groups of photosynthetic algae. That means they use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food (glucose) and emit oxygen. As oxygen producers, diatoms are more important than all the rainforests, generating 20-50 % of the oxygen we breathe. Diatoms occur in virtually every aquatic and sub-aquatic environment, anywhere there is sufficient moisture (fresh or saline) and sunlight for photosynthesis. They are also a primary food source, contributing up to 40% of the global oceans primary production and feeding higher organisms across nearly all marine and freshwater habitats.

Both sexes will feed at sea, sometimes travelling >1000 km from colonies but male giant petrels in particular also target penguin chicks and adults around their colonies, and fight over seal and other carrion on land. Old-time whalers used to call them breakbones or stinkers because of their frequent blood-stained brawls over carrion meat.

Sun, 19 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Of the 6 penguin species that reside in the Antarctic only two can truly claim the continent as their homeland emperors and Adlies. Unlike other penguins, emperor penguins are dependent on stable sea ice that is firmly attached to the shore (land-fast ice) for the majority of the year, from April through to January. Once they arrive at their chosen breeding site, penguins lay eggs in the Antarctic winter from May to June. Eggs hatch after 65 days, but chicks do not fledge until summer, between December and January. It is this dependence on sea ice that has left them so highly vulnerable in recent years.
