Mostly they are doing research on the climate, ozone levels, oxygen levels, and overall using the lack of human surface modification to study what the Earth's atmosphere is doing and reacting to. There are many other studies (such as those which include Geology, Biology, etc.), but the polar caps are very good areas to study the human impact on the outer atmospheric levels because of the lack general pollution, and "global warming" changes because of all the cold-climate requiring ICE!!! The only problem is there's so much pollution these days, even in Antarctica there are obvious effects of slobbish, inconsiderate, slovenly human behavior. (I, too, am guilty of it ). :(
