British Antarctic Survey staff are spending the festive season at five research stations and on board the RRS Sir David Attenborough .

Some of them have been sharing their Christmas plans - telling us how they will be spending the big day .

'This Christmas I'll be counting penguins - and a cheesy movie,' says Derren Fox , 52 .

"Our team of three , Saurav Dutta , a geochemist, Andy Moles , a field guide and myself, will be camping for four weeks hunting for fossils, to try and understand how Antarctic seafloor ecosystems evolved. "As our trip is time-limited we will need to work on Christmas Day if the weather allows. We will either be finishing camp set-up or conducting an initial survey of the study area. "Hopefully we can finish a bit early on Christmas Day to cook something nice with our field rations.".
