Antarctica is inaccessible by water for most of the year. Between about October and March, ships and logistical aircraft can supply research stations.

Everything that is used and consumed on Antarctica must be imported. Imports by ship are the least expensive imports, meaning that coastal research stations are economically sensible.

Interior stations, such as the Amundsen Scott South Pole Station, and the Russian Vostok Station are exceptions. Other interior stations are temporary field camps that are only established during the summer season. Field camps are supplied by the research stations that support them.
