Field camp in Antarctica during a blizzard
Antarctic blizzard. Researcher beside a tent in an Antarctic research field during a blizzard. This orange tent accommodates a scientist and his assistant for up to 12 weeks at a time. This tent has few design differences from those used in the early days of Antarctic exploration at the beginning of the 20th century. Photographed during a British Antarctic Survey expedition in 1997

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library transports us to the harsh and unforgiving landscape of Antarctica during a blizzard. In this image, we see a researcher standing beside an orange tent in an Antarctic research field, braving the extreme weather conditions. This humble tent serves as their home away from home for up to 12 weeks at a time. What makes this scene even more intriguing is that this tent bears striking similarities to those used by early explorers in the beginning of the 20th century. It's a testament to how little design has changed over time when it comes to surviving in these challenging environments. Taken during a British Antarctic Survey expedition in 1997, this photograph captures both the resilience and determination of scientists dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of our planet's most remote regions. The blizzard raging around them emphasizes just how inhospitable Antarctica can be, yet these researchers persevere with unwavering commitment. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the immense challenges faced by those who venture into such extreme environments for scientific exploration. It serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements, nature still holds its dominion over us all – demanding respect and humility from even the most intrepid adventurers.
