Environmental Briefing DVDs. The Project Atlantis research team has produced a series of South Georgia Environmental Briefing DVDs. These have been designed for a number of audiences that visit the island of South Georgia. They include cruise passengers, yachts, expeditions, scientists, Government contactors, and the Armed Forces. The DVDs offers visitors a view of this special environment and provide some guidelines for a safe visit that has minimal impact on the environment.

Discovery House. The fifty years of research (Discovery Investigations) conducted by the RRS Discovery vessels in Antarctic waters continues to provide scientists with scientific data of significant value. It was through this work that the Antarctic convergence (now called Polar Front), and marine eco-systems of the Southern Oceans came to be better understood. Project Atlantis provided a detailed proposal, accepted by the Government of South Georgia, to convert Discovery House; a shore based marine biological station for the Discovery Investigations (1924 to 1927) at King Edward Point to become an exhibition centre.
