What are the scientific and practical goals of the work in Antarctica?

Antarctica is a unique and inimitable continent, located in the very south of the globe. Research in Antarctica is carried out by a wide variety of scientists: climatologists, biologists, physicists, seismologists, geographers. The main objectives of the study of Antarctica are the study of its climate, physical processes of formation of glaciers, the influence of solar activity and anthropogenic factors on them. In practice, exploring Antarctica will enable humans to explain and predict some of the global weather events.
