The ISCE team are fully committed to getting Scott, the Antarctic and polar science into the classroom, this year and the next, and their aim is to build one of the largest ever on-line and interactive education platforms.

Welcome to the ISCE 2012!
Reading these pages is your opportunity to become involved in one of the most dynamic projects celebrating the centenary of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913) aboard Terra Nova and the death of Captain Scott and the Pole Party in March 1912. Find out more about Captain Scott on our 'Captain Scott' pages.
The centenary expedition itself will leave for the Antarctic in 2012. You can find out more about this and our sponsors on our 'Expedition' pages, and more on the ISCE and our supporting patrons in our 'about us' section.
Not only will the expedition salute the memory of Scott and his Pole Party, it will celebrate their achievements, providing a powerful focus to our education and outreach programme. Our education and outreach work is already under way and you can find out more about this on our 'Education' pages. You can also keep up to date with our current and future events on our 'News' pages.
With our emphasis on science, education and exploration, the ISCE is deeply imbued by Captain Scott and his legacy. Numerous expeditions are 'racing to the Pole' for the centenary; but to race is an adventurer's dash. Scott preferred instead to execute his programme of scientific, education and exploration work - as do we.
A century on, Scott's legacy is to be found in the modern framework of the Antarctic Treaty itself, which designates Antarctica as an international continent for science. With its educational and scientific emphases, this expedition will be supporting this ethos. We will also be supporting the work of the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge, which continues the legacy of Scott's expeditions in the Polar regions to this day, ensuring a century of polar scientific work inspired by Captain Scott.
In order to achieve our objectives, the ISCE is proud to be working in co-operation with the British Services Antarctic Expedition (2012) which shares our ideals and objectives. We are the only two expeditions to receive rarely granted British government recognition, to celebrate the Scott Centenary on the Antarctic ice. Together, we will ensure that the centenary of one of our greatest explorers is truly celebrated 'In the Spirit of Captain Scott'.
