HMS Protector ice patrol ship heads Antarctica

 With the UK about to be the focus of international efforts to tackle climate change as it hosts the UN COP26 conference in Glasgow, the unique survey/research ship will continue her work supporting scientists from around the world study the impact of global warming.



HMS Protector is affectionately referred to as the Royal Navy’s ‘swiss army knife’ – red, versatile, and always there when you need her. This ice patroller is well-equipped with 2 cranes capable of lifting up to 60 tonnes of stores and equipment.(Picture source: Royal Navy)
