Arctic & Antarctic Research Resources related to arctic and antarctic research and travel.

Arctic and Antarctic research is fundamental to cold weather travel research. The Arctic is a harsh survival environment requiring thorough research, planning, preparation, and practice to master the art of survival. High winds, cold temperatures, and low humidity are just some of the challenges of living and surviving in this harsh, barren, and desolate environment. It is also a land that one quickly falls in love with once there and that one is pulled back to again and again.
