Dickies, the internationally renowned workwear brand supplied overalls to the Antarctic Heritage Trust for their Port Lockroy operation. The United Kingdom Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) works to conserve Antarctic buildings and artifacts, and to promote and encourage the public's interest in its Antarctic heritage. Port Lockroy is not only an important natural and historic environment, but also a destination for many from around the world who want to come and learn more about the Antarctic. One role of UKAHT in this is both as monitor and regulator. Anna Malaos, from United Kingdom Antarctic Heritage Trust said: “Port Lockroy continues to go from strength to strength and is very much the shop window of the trust in the Antarctic. It continues to be the most visited site in Antarctica and this year we welcomed over 18,000 visitors to the museum.
