Twenty-one Argentine experts who will investigate climate change are actually working at the country’s southernmost Antarctic Belgrano II Base.
The scientific and military experts are facing a four-month long polar night after landing more than 4,500 kilometers away from Buenos Aires and less than 1,700 from the South Pole.
With temperatures that can reach around or below – 35° Celsius, Belgrano II is the southernmost of the Argentine bases and is located to the east of the Weddell Sea, so the newly arrived staff will not have contact with people outside the group until they are relieved in December 2017.
