Have you ever wanted to know what it’s like for scientists and support staff living at the South Pole? How do they communicate with the rest of the world? Can they Skype with their families?

Agence France-Presse: Australia said on Saturday it was confident its plans for a marine reserve to protect biodiversity in East Antarctica would succeed next year, after international talks in Hobart failed to agree on the measure. The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) meeting closed late Friday with the 25 members unable to reach consensus on two Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Australia's joint proposal with France and the European Union for reserves in East Antarctic...

Plans for giant Antarctic marine reserve falter for fourth time

Guardian: A plan to protect a vast swath of ocean off Antarctica by creating the worlds largest marine reserve appeared headed for failure for the fourth time.

A bid for the Marine Protected Area (MPA) was first put forward in 2011 by Australia, along with France and the European Union. But the Commission of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) knocked back the idea, which would encompass 760,000 square miles (1.9 million square kilometers) of the Last Continent. So those down under...

Russia and China are among 25 delegate nations meeting in Hobart for the annual gathering of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources. Representatives from both countries, and others including the Ukraine, have previously opposed the creation of two huge marine protected areas, arguing the zones would...
