British Antarctic Territory Travel Adapters

Type G • 230 volts • 50 Hz

The British Antarctic Territory is a sector of Antarctica claimed by the United Kingdom and located south of the Atlantic Ocean between longitudes 20°W and 80°W. The territory includes scientific research stations, glaciers, and vast ice-covered landscapes that form part of the Antarctic continent. There is no permanent civilian population, and access is primarily limited to scientists and support personnel working at research facilities. The region is governed under the Antarctic Treaty System, which regulates international scientific cooperation and environmental protection in Antarctica.

Electrical systems at British Antarctic Territory research stations generally operate at about 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type G sockets. Personnel and visitors working at research stations should bring a compatible travel adapter if their equipment uses different plug types. Users should also confirm that their electronic devices support 100–240V input or use an appropriate voltage converter if necessary.
