The online version of the Australian Antarctic Magazine is part of an Australian government website that supports and informs the public, scientists, researchers, and lawmakers about the involvement of Australia in the Antarctic region. The guiding principle of the Australian Antarctic Division is "Antarctica-valued, protected and understood". The magazine comes out twice yearly, and archived issues dating back to Autumn 2001 are available on the site. Visitors can read the issue online or in a full pdf version. The covers of the magazines are often exceedingly beautiful, and the photographs that accompany the articles capture the frigid beauty of Antarctica. Some of the sections of the magazine include "Science and Policy", "Marine Mammal Science" and "Working in Antarctica". First-time visitors may wish to look over the June 2009 issue, which has a fascinating article on right whales.
