| You can follow the Australasian Antarctic Expedition 2013 on the Guardian's Antarctica Live blog. In the spirit of Douglas Mawson's original expedition of 1911, in which he was the first to send regular wireless messages from Antarctica, our website will publish daily updates from the expedition, sent direct from the field. | You can follow the Australasian Antarctic Expedition 2013 on the Guardian's Antarctica Live blog.

| Our coverage will include articles, tweets, pictures and videos from Guardian journalists taking part in the expedition. We will feature the dozens of scientists on board the ship as they make their climate and wildlife measurements at sea, on the islands of the Southern Ocean and on Antarctica itself. We will also report everyday life (and Christmas) on board a working research vessel. | Our coverage will include articles, tweets, pictures and videos from Guardian journalists taking part in the expedition.

| Through the expedition, which runs until 4 January, we will give Guardian readers several opportunities to talk live to people on board the ship as we sail through some of the roughest seas in the world, visit the windiest place on Earth and try (icebergs permitting) to reach Mawson's huts, the heroic explorer's base camp more than 100 years ago as he drew the first maps of this part of the world. | Through the expedition, which runs until 4 January, we will give Guardian readers several opportunities to talk live to people on board the ship as we sail through some of the roughest seas in the world, visit the windiest place on Earth and try (icebergs permitting) to reach Mawson's huts, the heroic explorer's base camp more than 100 years ago as he drew the first maps of this part of the world. |
