We present Herschel SPIRE and PACS photometeric observations of the low metallicity ( Z \sim 0.35Z _ { \odot } ) nearby dwarf galaxy , NGC 1705 , in six wavelength bands as part of the Dwarf Galaxy Survey guaranteed time Herschel Key Program .
We confirm the presence of two dominant circumnuclear IR-bright regions surrounding the central super star cluster that had been previously noted at mid-IR wavelengths and in the sub-mm by LABOCA .
On constructing a global spectral energy distribution using the SPIRE and PACS photometry , in conjunction with archival IR measurements , we note the presence of an excess at sub-mm wavelengths .
This excess suggests the presence of a signiÞcant cold dust component within NGC 1705 and was modeled as an additional cold component in the SED .
Although alternative explanations for the sub-mm excess beyond 350 \mu m , such as changes to the dust emissivity can not be ruled out , the most likely explanation for the observed submillimetre excess is that of an additional cold dust component .
