Antarctic logistics
Antarctic logistics involves the planning and coordination of transportation, supplies, and operations in one of the most remote and harsh environments on Earth. This includes air and sea transport, using icebreakers and research vessels to deliver equipment and personnel to research stations. Supply chains must account for extreme weather, ice conditions, and limited time during the summer months when access is possible. Efficient logistics are crucial for scientific research, supporting thousands of scientists and staff who conduct vital studies on climate, wildlife, and global health in this unique ecosystem.
