Antarctica is expensive due to its remote location, harsh climate, and the logistical challenges associated with conducting research and operations there. The cost of transportation, specialized equipment, and maintaining support facilities adds to the overall expenses. Additionally, stringent environmental regulations and the need for safety measures further drive up costs. Funding for scientific research in Antarctica often comes from government grants, which can be limited and competitive.
