Italy has been present in Antarctica with a governmental scientific programme since 1985.
Until 1985 Italian scientists, alpine guides and other adventurous spirits went to the continent
mostly as members of other national expeditions. After 1985 however, and during the following
thirty years, the Italian national programme PNRA (Programma Nazionale di Ricerche in
Antartide) has promoted a large scientific commitment, by organising yearly expeditions and
built two stations, the first on the coast of the Ross Sea, the second – jointly with France – on
the East Antarctic ice plateau.

The purpose of the present publication, available [https://www.italiantartide.it/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/ITALY_IN_ANTARCTICA.pdf in English] and [https://www.italiantartide.it/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/ITALIA_IN_ANTARTIDE.pdf in Italian], is to stress, firstly, the global values of Antarctica, and secondly to document the activities of the Italian expeditions.
