Traveling to Antarctica is an exciting, once-in-a-life time experience
that provides an opportunity to observe diverse and unique animals
and magnificent landscapes. It is also an opportunity to conduct
research in one of the most challenging and arguably most pristine
environments still remaining on the planet. The Geochemical and
Environmental Research Group (GERG) of Texas A&M University deployed
a scientific
party to study the terrestrial, marine, and ice environment
around McMurdo Station, Antarctica to document human impacts on
the region.
