Many things:
Scientists look at past atmospheres by drilling ice cores. Geologists go there to study volcanic activity, for example. Marine biologists study microscopic life under the ice, as well as macrofauna in that area. Meteorologists go there to study different layers of the atmosphere, which is easier at very cold temperatures in some situations.
Scientists also perform research based on queries into the health of planet earth.
