Turkish scientists conducted researches as part of the 6th National Antarctic Science Expedition in Antarctica. Air quality stations were established on Horseshoe Island and its surroundings, where the Turkish Science Camp is located, in the context of scientific work. Measurements and astronomical observations were made using data collected from GNSS Global Positioning System stations, while the data from the meteorology station was instantly entered on the website of the General Directorate of Meteorology, allowing citizens to view the weather conditions on the island. Antarctica, the coldest continent on earth, has served as a scientific research zone since signing the Antarctic Treaty in 1959, committing to use the continent for peaceful purposes only.
