We enthusiastical ly encourage our early career researchers (ECR) to both join our activities and to communicate with us if you are planning something special to celebr ate Antarctica Day with your community. We want to promote your activities, too! Thanks to the wide collaborations between countries, we could expand and enrich our events and celebrate the spirit of international peace and s cientific cooperation that signified the signing of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959.
To reach our goal, we have planned the activities described on the An tarctica Day webpage to engage as many people as possible who want to s hare their exclusive Antarctic experiences and those who want to feed their curiosity about the continent of the extremes.
