Life is still not easy for people in a different and changing enviroment such as The Antarctic. Many of the 250 people are volunteers, that are yearning for an ever-changing life-style. Nevertheless, Antarctica is also an unpredicatable enviroment and some peoples lives are put at risk to save and keep this pristine enviroment, safe for tommorow. 

 

 

There are around 66 scientific bases in Antarctica, of which about 37 are occupied year round. There are about 4,000 people through the summer months and about 1,000 overwinter each year.

Most residents of scientific stations do a "summer only" this is about November to March/April, with a lesser number staying over the Antarctic winter (when any chance of transport in or out is virtually impossible). A typical tour is a summer only or one winter and two summers, around 15 months in total (this time is continuous with no visits home or elsewhere in the meantime). It used to be quite common for some to stay for two winters and three summers, though this is very rare now.

 

This clarify's that Antarcitca is not the ideal location for a paradise but what really happens behind the scenes in this un-predictable location?

 

Atmospheric data has been collected at the British Halley Research Station continuously for over 50 years, making it one of Antarctica’s longest unbroken data records.Scientific researchers collect data from all over antactica and form maps upon maps of infomation from predicted sea levels to the population of Wild Polars Astray in the region.

But one of the most interesting parts of Data collecting is why you collect it!
