Summary
[edit]DescriptionCongressional delegation visits Antarctica (19114612189).jpg |
Ten members of the U.S. House of Representatives, accompanied by NSF staff, visited U.S Antarctic Program (USAP) facilities in Antarctica in December 2014. NSF manages the USAP, through which it coordinates U.S. scientific research in Antarctica and the surrounding oceans, and provides logistical support. Led by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, the congressional delegation was there to observe federally funded science research conducted in Antarctica. The group flew from New Zealand to Antarctica aboard a military transport plane and the trip took about eight hours. The ski-equipped LC-130 landed on an ice-covered runway near McMurdo Station, the logistics hub of the USAP. See the news page www.nsf.gov/news/index.jsp?org=PLR&news_type=0 of the Division of Polar Programs, in NSF’s Directorate for Geosciences, for stories about polar research.
