Research Stations in Antarctica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A number of governments maintain permanent research stations in Antarctica and these bases are widely distributed. Unlike the bases set up in the Arctic (see Drifting ice station), the research stations of the Antarctic are constructed either on rock or on ice that is (for practical purposes) fixed in place.

Exploring Antarctica - ABC

Much has changed in the hundred years since Australian explorer Sir Douglas Mawson first located the South Magnetic Pole, yet Antarctica still holds challenges for modern scientists.

Why study Antarctic Glaciers?

Why should we study Antarctic Glaciers and what can we learn from them? Understanding past glacier-atmosphere interactions can help predict future change.

Picture Climate: What Can We Learn from Ice?

Ice cores contribute to our view of Earth's climate, providing insight into where our planet has been and might be going.

Climate Change: Past and Future - Discovering Antarctica

How has Antarctica's climate changed in the past? Is Antarctica being affected by 'global warming' and how might we expect its climate to change in the future? What evidence is needed to address these questions?

Scientific Research in Antarctica - Wonderful Antarctica

Antarctica has long been a prime spot for scientific research. The United States first established bases there in 1957. Today, more than 14 different countries maintain research stations in Antarctica.

Polar Research: Six Priorities for Antarctic Science - Nature

Antarctic scientists are unlocking the secrets of Earth's climate, revealing lakes and mountains beneath the ice, exploring the deep sea and contemplating the origins of life and the Universe.

Antarctic Research Could Change Lives Around the World - Stripes

Climate change research that the U.S. military is supporting in Antarctica will likely impact the lives of billions and might even affect servicemembers' careers.
