If Antaractica is pretty uninhabited although ppl do go for research how do they fly there and? |
I assume there are no hotels either. Where do they stay? Most of them fly in via CHCH, There are lots of base stations and research compounds built there. They fly in on light aircraft and they bring more fuel for the return flight. There are buildings there where people do research. They fly in on private aircraft. Apart from scientists, researchers and their support teams, Antarctica is uninhabited (by humans, there's alot of wildlife). There's a hotel for tourists at a place called Patriot Hills, in the Antarctic Peninsula. You fly down there from Puntas Arenas, in Chile. Scientists working in Antarctica either go down by ship or fly from Chile, Argentina, NZ or Australia. The Russians used to fly down from Maputo in Mozambique; I don't know if they still do. I spent a summer working down in the Ross Dependency, south of NZ and it was fun. If you get a chance to go, take it. Going as a tourist is usually very expensive, but I've heard that the Chilean and Argentinian navies take paying visitors on their supply trips to their Antarctic bases, quite cheaply. If you can think of a research project to work on down there, contact the Enderby Trust in Christchurch NZ; they give scholarships. The University of Canterbury in Christchurch offer an Antarctic Studies course which includes field work down there. Otherwise apply to the government departments responsible for Antarctic research in Britain, Australia, NZ, or the National Science Foundation in the US. Google these. Not all the workers they employ are scientists. They also need trades people like builders and mechanics, and catering staff and cleaners. Good luck. |
