Discover the incredible story of Pakistan's scientific expedition to Antarctica! In 1991, Pakistan became one of the few nations to establish research stations (Jinnah Antarctic Station I & II) and an automatic weather station on the icy continent, earning associate membership in the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). This was a monumental achievement, showcasing Pakistan's dedication to global science despite limited resources.
While independent missions paused due to funding, aspirations to revive the Antarctic program are high. Learn about its immense value for climate change research, technological advancement, and strengthening international cooperation. As a member of the Antarctic Treaty since 2011, Pakistan is poised to expand its vital polar science contributions.
