Twenty-eight people have dedicated six months of their lives
Twenty-eight people have dedicated six months of their lives to living at the South Pole with no sunlight, practically no contact with the world and no avenue of escape. As a crew they work to maintain the U.S. polar base and operate telescopes and other scientific devices located at the research station. Their job is beginning to change due to modern communications and advanced technology. If you need more details on antarctica tours visit there.
Recently North American astronomers were able to control the South Pole observatory’s telescope using satellite communications. Never before this had a telescope at the South Pole been operated from a different continent. Astronomers are wishing that someday they will have the ability of observing the universe from the South Pole while being physically located in a warm office somewhere else.
