Ensuring they keep to the area’s strict licensing regulations.
The UK is a founding signatory of the Antarctic Treaty and takes its responsibilities in the region very seriously – determined to uphold the key tenets of the Treaty of protecting the environment and preserving the area for scientific research.
Within 24 hours of arriving in the Ross Sea, the ice patrol ship had carried out the first of several CCAMLR inspections with six embarked Australian and New Zealand specialists to support.
Lieutenant Commander Ross Hickey, of the Royal New Zealand Navy, said: “It was a pleasure and a privilege to join HMS Protector in the Southern Ocean patrol and to the Ross Sea, particularly due to New Zealand’s involvement in heroic Antarctic exploration in both Scott’s and Shackleton’s expeditions.
“New Zealand is looking forward to hosting Protector when she visits our country later in the month.”

And the Arctic, too.
Rather notoriously, in 2007 the BBC, a big believer in Global Warming, told us in no uncertain terms that the Arctic will be "ice-free" by 2013 - BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Arctic summers ice-free 'by 2013'
But they were since proven wrong (and it's been quite embarrassing for them) and Arctic ice is at a greater extent now than it was in 2007. The Arctic ice sheet is growing.
