When possible, people in need of intense medical assistance located on the continent are 'med-evaced' off the ice to a full-service medical facility. Med-evac is rarely possible between about February and August.

In order to work in Antarctica and live there, one must pass a set of rigorous physical -- and mental -- examinations in order to qualify.

What do you call emergency relief to Antarctica?

People who live in Antarctica take care of each other. Primarily, people who live there are careful, so as to avoid being in need of emergency relief. There is usually a doctor on a station who can tend cuts, scrapes and the occasional broken limb. Before people are allowed to work in Antarctica, each must pass a stringent physical exam. Those with existing health issues are not allowed in the research programmes. Occasionally, however, a medical evacuation is required, but they are infrequent and expensive, since they must originate in other countries, thousands of miles away in some cases.
