Antarctica is a unique scientific laboratory. It is the only continent historically uninhabited by humans; access to its vast land and ice-scapes, and its surrounding oceans, is today almost exclusively reserved for scientists. Although these 'Antarcticans' represent multiple disciplines, and pursue a wide variety of research agendas, their shared experiences of working on the continent, and their shared professional networks, mean that they constitute a distinct community of practice. However, this community has yet to be subjected to detailed ethnographic enquiry. This project aims to examine Antarctic scientists' research practices, and their cultures of knowledge production, through an ethnographic study of Australia's Davis Station.

南极洲是一个独特的科学实验室。它是历史上唯一没有人类居住的大陆;今天，进入其广阔的土地和冰景及其周围的海洋几乎完全是科学家的专利。虽然这些“舌巨人”代表多个学科，并追求各种各样的研究议程，但他们在非洲大陆工作的共同经验，以及他们共同的专业网络，意味着他们构成了一个独特的实践社区。然而，该社区尚未接受详细的人种学调查。该项目旨在通过对澳大利亚戴维斯站的人种学研究，审查南极科学家的研究实践及其知识生产文化。
