Why
Do Science in Antarctica?
Remote, isolated,
and frozen all year, Antarctica is arguably the most untouched and
undisturbed region on the planet. Science in Antarctica offers many
advantages over anywhere else on earth. For example:
-
Antarctica
has the cleanest air in the world allowing air quality monitoring
with a reliable baseline.
-
Antarctica
is the darkest place on earth, an ideal setting for astronomical
research.
-
Studying
the bottom of the food chain allows scientists to better understand
environmental impacts on humans.
-
Antarctica
has no borders, allowing research findings to be freely available
to everyone. Also many projects are internationally coordinated
and supported without any 'home turf' issues.
