The Amundsen-Scott Station is a research facility located at the South Pole in Antarctica. Established in 1956, it is operated by the United States and serves as a hub for scientific research in extreme conditions. The station is named after explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott, who were the first to reach the South Pole in 1911 and 1912, respectively. The station supports various scientific disciplines, including climatology, glaciology, and astronomy. It is equipped with laboratories, living quarters, and facilities for researchers who work in the harsh Antarctic environment. The station is crucial for understanding global climate change and conducting experiments that require isolation from the rest of the world.
