Description:

Science / Oceans and Atmosphere Monday December 14, 2020 During the past austral summer, scientists released an autonomous seafaring robot into the Southern Ocean. For four months, the small Wave Glider navigated the frigid Antarctic waters, collecting data on the surrounding... Continue Reading Science / The Biological World Monday November 30, 2020 Flying robots are helping scientists track the population of Adelie Penguins. This past austral summer, researchers flew a small fleet of coordinated unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, over Cape Crozier, one of... Continue Reading Features / Life on the Ice Monday November 16, 2020 Like clockwork in late November, the residents of McMurdo Station look to the sky and spot something that many haven't seen in months - birds. The arrival of these feathered creatures is... Continue Reading Podcast: The Search and Rescue Team Features / Operations Monday November 02, 2020 In Antarctica, scientists conduct cutting edge research on a harsh and barren continent. It's no easy task, but to help make it happen the U.S. Antarctic Program employs small army of support... Continue Reading Science / Space and Atmospheric Physics Monday October 12, 2020 One of the telescopes at the bottom of the world is getting a major upgrade. The South Pole's venerable Keck Array is being reconstituted into the more powerful BICEP Array, making it... Continue Reading Heavy Cosmic Rays - Part II: The Death and Life of SuperTIGER-II Science / Space and Atmospheric Physics Monday September 28, 2020 The season before SuperTIGER-II's successful 2019 flight, the payload had an unexpectedly short flight over Antarctica. Brought down after less than a day because of a problem with the balloon carrying it,... Continue Reading Heavy Cosmic Rays - Part I: The Flight of SuperTIGER-II Science / Space and Atmospheric Physics Monday September 14, 2020 In December 2019, SuperTIGER clawed its way back into the upper atmosphere. The second flight of the SuperTIGER cosmic ray experiment, officially dubbed SuperTIGER-II, flew high above the icy continent for more than a month, collecting data on the high-energy particles that zip through the cosmos. Detecting Anomalous Life Swarms Science / The Biological World Tuesday September 01, 2020 The seas around Antarctica are alive, but that life is not evenly distributed everywhere. Vast regions of barren ocean are punctuated by oases of concentrated nutrients that create hotspots of biological activity. Podcast: Field Support and Training Features / Operations Monday August 10, 2020 In Antarctica, scientists conduct cutting edge research on a harsh and barren continent. It's no easy task, but to help make it happen the U.S. Antarctic Program employs small army of support staff to get these researchers the supplies they need, transport them to where they need to go and keep them safe throughout.
