Read about real-time researchers in the Antarctic. One expedition is researching an active volcano in Antarctica, another is on an ice-cutter ship headed towards McMurdo, another group is investigating the Dry Valleys in Antarctica and finally, another team is diving under the sea ice.

**Please note that this is an assignment given when expeditions were current. The same assignment can be adapted for any real-time research available online.
