Surprising Results from Antarctic Expedition Questionnaire The Antarctic Expedition questionnaire recently issued has given scientists surprising insights into what life is like in extreme cold and how it influences the work of those who explore the icy continent. Exploration Equipment: Scientists were surprised to learn that many explorers in Antarctica often go without the latest technology and rely on the wind or temperature to lead them in their explorations. Stay or Go: Many explorers do not commit to shorter or longer durations of exploration and are more likely to stay for longer periods simply because the extreme weather makes it impractical to move back and forth regularly. In addition, unexpected findings were also uncovered regarding the explorers’ favorite type of supplies on the expedition. Certain food items, such as canned beans and powdered milk, have become a staple of Antarctic explorers’ diets due to their durability when exposed to cold temperatures. Similarly, emergency preparedness items such as sleeping bags and flashlights are often more accessible to explorers than more specialized items. 4.
