Abstract
The article reflects on the six priorities for the southern polar research convened by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) in April 2014. Topics discussed include defining the role of interactions between the atmosphere, ocean and ice in controlling the rate of climate change, impact of changes on ocean's ability to absorb heat and carbon dioxide and mitigation of human activities for the effective Antarctic regulation. Also discusses evolution and survival of Antarctic life.
