ARPANSA - Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency

This page presents current UV levels for Australian Antarctic stations. The UV data is collected continuously by detectors that respond to UV in a similar manner to human skin. This web page is updated with the latest measured UV levels every minute.

The blue numbers are the current UV levels for each station. The green numbers represent the maximum UV levels recorded so far for the day. UV levels depend on lattitude, time of year, ozone levels and local atmospheric conditions.

There is a self-refreshing version of this page that displays the map only.
