An innovative base of operations for Antarctic research Despite the hostile environs, the Alfred Wegener Institute operates a research station in the Antarctic where scientists can live and work year-round: [...] yet it also contains essential data for better understanding our planet. Accordingly, the Alfred Wegener Institute operates a research station in the Antarctic where scientists can live and work year-round [...] within the station remains within a closed loop, ensuring it is put to optimal use.
