Scott Base

Scott Base is a research station located on Ross Island in Antarctica, operated by New Zealand. It serves as a hub for scientific studies in areas like glaciology, biology, and climate change. The base provides facilities for scientists to live and work in the extreme Antarctic environment, supporting year-round research efforts. Built in the 1950s, Scott Base is designed to withstand harsh conditions and work in harmony with the surrounding icy wilderness. It also plays a key role in international Antarctic treaties, focusing on scientific cooperation and environmental preservation.
