Antarctica, the sixth continent, was discovered more than 160 years
ago. Since then this large, mysterious continent of ice and
penguins has attracted world interest. Scientific expeditions from
various countries have begun to study the geographical and natural
conditions of the icy continent. Systematic and comprehensive inves
tigations in the Antarctic started in the middle of our century. In
1956 the First Soviet Antarctic Expedition headed to the coast of
Antarctica. Their program included studies of the atmosphere,
hydrosphere and cryosphere. Thirty years have since passed.
Scientists have unveiled many secrets of Antarctica: significant
geophysical processes have been investigated, and a large body of
new information on the Antarctic weather, Southern Ocean hydrology
and Antarctic glaciers has been obtained. We can now claim that the
horizons of polar geo physics, oceanology, and particularly
glaciology, have expanded. Scientific inves tigators have obtained
new information about all Antarctic regions and thus have created
the opportunity to use the Antarctic in the interests of mankind."
