The Australian Antarctic Division is also searching for safer and cleaner energy sources which are less reliant on fossil fuels. Options include wind and solar power, hydrogen and fuel cells, or combinations of these, as well as a broad program of energy conservation through the use of low - energy electrical and electronic appliances and light fittings. In the mid 1990's the Australian and French antarctic programs collaborated in the research into alternative energy systems. This resulted in a wind turbine system erected at Casey station in the 1994 - 95 summer season. Studies into wind generation are currently being conducted at Davis station.
Skiing is a very popular past time in Antarctica.
I enjoy it when I can. It does rain in some places but very rarely. As Antarctica is still such a new and unexplored place to us we could say that everyone that goes there is a polar explorer. There are also numerous people who set out on adventure treks across the continent or to do things like walk to the south pole. As you seem to have worked out getting water in Antarctica is very difficult.
