The man at the front of the party is armed with one of the ship's GPMGs and his personal Glock pistol to protect the working party from Polar Bears. Throughout June 2021 HMS Protector has been in the Arctic Circle (north of 80 degrees latitude) carrying out ‘Ice Ramming Trials’ to ascertain the correct ‘Polar Code’ rating post refit. HMS Protector is the Royal Navy’s Ice Patrol Ship, and has recently completed a 5 yearly refit and subsequent Operational Sea Training package.

In addition, the ship will support Partner agencies within Her Majesty’s Government and work with others to develop understanding and further the natural preservation of that great continent. HMS Protector’s crew includes to a team of permanent divers, who undertake exploratory surveys and ensure that environmental guidelines are being upheld.
