SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
The location of the poles and their extreme conditions make them ideal places to study science that relates to the entire planet.
International Polar Year
During International Polar Year 2007-08, 10,000 scientists from over 60 countries undertook research for a better understanding of how the Earth is changing so we can predict as accurately as possible the impact that climate change will have on our environment and way of life.
IPY in a nutshell
Polar science – global impact
International Polar Year (IPY) 2007–2008 was the largest co-ordinated international scientific effort for 50 years. From ice sheets and space science to Arctic communities and the creatures of the Southern Ocean, IPY included more than 200 Arctic and Antarctic projects and harnessed the skills of 50,000 people – including scientists, students and support staff – from 63 nations.
IPY has taken place three times. The first was in 1882-82, the second in 1957-58 and the third in 2007-08. Through these years scientists from around the world worked together in a concentrated burst of polar science and exploration. The most recent IPY was timely in helping our developing understanding of the Earth’s climate system. As the Earth warms, the polar regions are warming most rapidly. Polar science is crucial to understanding how our world works – as well as our impact upon it.
