epa07270660 (01/30) A Twin Otter airplane during a reconnaissance flight over the Antarctic Plateau and the Edson Glacier in the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica, 05 December 2018. This utility airplane, equipped with wheels or skis, adapts perfectly to the Antarctic environment with its rugged construction and short take off and landing performance. The Glaciar Union camp is a Chilean polar station operated by the INACH and the three groups of the Armed Forces of Chile marking the beginning of all scientific activities planned in Antarctica for the summer season. During a month a group of eight scientists conduct their studies in the third most southern camp of the continent. The Armed Forces play a key role as they provide the logistics and help researchers in their tasks. They explore the surroundings, prepare field trips with scientists and ensure their safety at all times.

epa10431537 Small masses of ice in the Gray Glacier, in Chilean Patagonia, 25 December 2022 (issued 26 January 2023). The academic and glaciologist from the University of Chile Alexis Segovia told EFE on 26 January that the recent detachment of a large mass of ice in Antarctica is 'a common phenomenon' and is not directly related to the climate crisis, although this could negatively affect the iceberg. According to a press release by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), a huge iceberg (1550 km2), almost the size of Greater London, broke off the 150m thick Brunt Ice Shelf on 22 January, after cracks that have been developing naturally over the last few years extended across the entire ice shelf, causing the new iceberg to break free.

epa07270669 (10/30) A man walks through the Glaciar Union camp during a windstorm, in the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica, 03 December 2018. Catabatic winds can reach up to 300 km/h and drop the thermal sensation to dangerous levels. The Glaciar Union camp is a Chilean polar station operated by the INACH and the three groups of the Armed Forces of Chile marking the beginning of all scientific activities planned in Antarctica for the summer season. During a month a group of eight scientists conduct their studies in the third most southern camp of the continent.

Rannsóknarleiðangur á Suðurskautslandið er í uppnámi eftir að einn úr níu manna hópi fór að beita félaga sína ofbeldi og hóta lífláti. Þeir hafa óskað eftir björgun en þurfa að óbreyttu að vera á Suðurskautslandinu fram í desember.
