	Worldworx Travel - Regional Information - Polar Regions - Antarctica
		Antarctica is frequently referred to as the secret continent as there are many aspects about the region that man knows little about at present.
		Antarctica is covered in a blanket of almost sheer ice and is located at the foot of the earth in the southern hemisphere.
		Antarctica is the coldest, windiest and driest continent.

		Antarctica is one of the most remarkable continents on our planet: dominated by ice, yet with desert areas that have not seen rain in 2 million years; inhospitable to human occupation, yet teeming with wildlife; glaringly bright under an unfiltered sun, and simultaneously killingly cold.
		Antarctica offers some scientists an ideal location to study the solar system and our place in the universe, setting up detectors for neutrinos and cosmic radiation; others find enormous single-celled organisms in shallow waters; and some find barely-functioning life in desert soils under conditions that may resemble the surface of the planet Mars.
		Much of the research in Antarctica requires on-the-spot observation and analysis: organisms in the ocean are found, photographed and catalogued; microbes in the soil are cultured and put under the microscope; glaciers are tracked.

		Nearly all of Antarctica is covered by an ice sheet that is, on average, 2.5 kilometers thick.

		Glaciologists in Antarctica are concerned with the study of the history and dynamics of floating ice, seasonal snow, glaciers, and ice sheets.
		Meteorites from Antarctica are an important area of study of material formed early in the solar system; most are thought to come from asteroids, but some may have originated on larger planets.

		ANSWER from Terry Trimingham, Antarctica, on December 18, 1994 When science groups go out "in the field" to do research, they typically carry radios, extra batteries, and solar panels for recharging the batteries.
		Thus, if you are a scientist doing research at a remote field camp and your radio failed, you could rely on the FOCC (where I work) to notice something is wrong and set the wheels in motion to help you.
		VHF radios will only communicate via "line of sight," in other words, if you were to take a VHF radio and go behind a big hill, you wouldn't be able to talk to someone standing on the other side of the hill.
