Scientific Exploration
Britain has a 200 year history of Antarctic research and exploration, starting with the voyages of Captain James Cook. Early commercial interests and exploration for its own sake were gradually replaced by the realisation that scientific studies of the Antarctic have value for all of humanity. Modern Antarctic science provides information on systems and processes which affect the lives of everyone on the planet. |
