The World’s First Antarctic Science Camp at Bellingshausen Station
Become a Scientist for a Week in an Antarctic Science Camp
About the camp 16+
Antarctic Science Camp is a rare chance to experience Antarctica not as a tourist, but as a part of a real research team. Participants live at an active polar station and take part in scientific work: monitoring pinnipeds, analyzing data from camera traps, and observing changes in the Bellingshausen Glacier on King George Island.
The program includes documenting elephant seal behavior, collecting marine debris from the coast, and joining Zodiac trips to penguin and marine mammal colonies. It’s a unique opportunity to contribute to real science while discovering the wildlife, landscapes, and daily life of Antarctica from the inside.
