RESEARCH STATIONS In Antarctica

Antarctica is the southernmost of the seven continents and site of the South Pole. It is a virtually uninhabited ice-covered landmass and the coldest, windiest, driest and most remote continent on Earth. For nearly 200 years scientists have been exploring Antarctica on the hunt for new organisms, data that could reveal Earth's climate history and signs of a changing environment.The Scottish National Antarctic Expedition set out to establish the first meteorological station OMOND HOUSE on the continent. There are currently over 75 permanent and seasonal changes research stations scattered across the continent of Antarctica. Thousands of biologists, ecologists, glaciologists, astronomers, meteorologists and geologists conduct research in Antarctica. These scientists and researchers study everything. From weather to penguins, and marine life to icebergs and glaciers
