The frozen desert serves as a scientific haven for more than 1,000 researchers around the year, who monitor climate change and study Earth’s history. Its barren landscape gives them access to an unspoilt world, where they can complete their research, despite temperatures dropping to as low as -90C. Following more than a decade of planning, scientist Dr John Priscu led a team of researchers to drill through the overlying ice sheet and sample the waters of a proposed lake hidden beneath the Antarctic ice sheet.
