Successful Conclusion of COASTANTAR Expedition 2024: A Landmark Achievement for the PROPOLAR3/18/2024
At the conclusion of the COASTANTAR Expedition, the scientists aboard gathered for an initial assessment of the expedition's achievements, limitations, and challenges. While most of the proposed tasks of the 10 scientific projects were completed, technical and meteorological constraints led to a shorter duration on land and fewer locations visited than desired. However, these constraints are inherent to logistical management in Antarctica and require adaptability. The overarching consensus is that this model effectively supports an Antarctic campaign undertaken by PROPOLAR. At the conclusion of the expedition, the 12 participants in the mission gained a unique experience at sea and on land, and beyond scientific gains, this mission has laid the groundwork for a more logistically efficient PROPOLAR.
