Drinking water is produced by different means, depending on the location of the scientific station or camp.

Where the station is near sea water, desalination stations produce the drinking water -- the best water I've ever tasted! Where there is no access to seawater, ice is melted -- it tastes good, as well.

Also, since Antarctica is a desert with less than five percent humidity, it is imperative that humans drink at least two liters of water daily, to remain appropriately hydrated in this extreme climate.

(Some have estimated that one gallon of water in Antarctica costs about US$1.00 to produce.)
