Turkish research team on 9th national Antarctic expedition finishes stop at Dismal Island

ANTARCTICA - RECENT FEB. 2025: The 9th National Antarctic Science Expedition team is continuing its research, which began in early February 2025 and is set to conclude in early March 2025. Footage captured by Anadolu during the expedition highlights both the unique beauty and the challenging conditions faced by the team in Antarctica. The team embarked on their journey from King George Island, navigating through Le Maire Channel, Penola Strait, and Grandidier Channel before reaching Dismal Island. Upon arriving on the third day, the team collected data from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) station, which had stored information for a year, and conducted necessary maintenance. Expedition leader Hasan Hakan Yavaşoğlu explained that the GNSS data allows for monitoring deformations caused by tectonic and isostatic pressure changes in the region. One of the team members Abdullah Kellevezir, noted that the team observed the West Antarctic Plate moving northeastward at a rate of about 1–1.5 cm per year. Following their studies, the team sailed to Türkiye's scientific research camp on Horseshoe Island, located 40 nautical miles from Dismal Island.
