All research conducted on Antarctica is the search for raw data having to do with the health of planet earth. Disciplines range from astronomy and astrophysics to zoology.
All research on the Antarctic continent has to do with the health of planet earth. Disciplines range from atmospherics to the psychology of isolated populations, climatology to earthquake research, and more.
Research conducted in Antarctica is shared with all the countries that are signatory to The Antarctic Treaty. For example, the best aerial maps are courtesy of the USA's CIA.
The Australian Antarctic Division operates several permanent bases on the Antarctic continent, namely, Casey, Davis, Macquarie Island and Mawson. During the summer, there are additional, temporary locations where research camps are operated.
Each research station provides its own power from its own power plant.
All scientific research conducted by anyone under the Antarctica Treaty is considered common property -- belonging to all nations that subscribed to the treaty.
If you include the islands surrounding Antarctica, there are 70 seasonal and year-round research stations.
No. All bases in the Antarctic are research stations. There is no military activity allowed, except in support of science.
Scientific research is the only activity conducted on the Antarctic continent. All research is shared with all nations that are signatory to The Antarctic Treaty, representing about 80% of the earth's population. You could say that Antarctica exports scientific details about the health of planet earth, first and second.
When not conducting research, people at Antarctic research bases engage in various activities such as exercising, reading, watching movies, playing games, socializing with colleagues, and participating in recreational activities like skiing or hiking. Some bases may have limited access to television or internet, so residents often rely on other forms of entertainment to relax and pass the time.
There is no permanent population or native peoples on the Antarctic continent. The number of people on the continent at any time is based on the funded scientific research being conducted there.
