극지(極地), 그곳은 말 그대로 '맨 끝에 있는 땅'이다. 흔히 남 북 양극지방을 통칭하는 말이기도 하다. 극지에 대한 일반 국민들의 관심은 2009년에 진수된 우리나라 최초의 쇄빙선 아라온호의 명성으로 극대화됐다. 거기에 얼마 전 TV 다큐멘터리 '남극의 눈물' 방영도 일반인들에게 극지에 대한 친숙함과 이해를 높이는 데 한몫 했다. 얼음과 눈, 그리고 살을 에는 추위뿐인 동토의 땅에서 대한민국 태극기를 펄럭이며 극지의 모든 것에 대해 연구하는 과학기지가 있다. 바로 남극 세종과학기지와 2014년 완공되는 장보고과학기지, 그리고 북극의 다산과학기지다. 인천광역시 연수구 송도동에 자리 잡은 극지연구소(KOPRI, Korea Polar Research Institute)는 극지와 그 관련지역에서의 기초 및 첨단 응용과학 연구, 남 북극 과학기지 운영 등을 지원하는 극지 전문기관으로, 국토해양부 한국해양과학기술원 부설기관이다. 이곳은 우리나라 유일의 극지연구전문기관으로, 미래의 기후 변화와 무한한 생물종을 연구하는 과학자들의 열의가 대단하다. 그 뜨거운 열기의 중심에는 바로 안전이 자리 잡고 있다. '극지'라는 특수지역을 무대로 삼아 국가적인 연구를 수행하고 있는 만큼 '안전'은 연구 활동을 뒷받침 하는 주춧돌이자 왕성한 연구활동을 이어나갈 수 있게 하는 원동력이 되고 있다. 안전을 위시해 전문적인 극지 연구를 하고 있는 이곳, 극지연구소만의 특별한 안전관리 현장을 찾아가봤다.

Gravity characteristics are investigated in the vicinity of the DASAN scientific station, located at the Svalbard Archipelago, the Arctic using ArcGP data. Boundary effects of free-air gravity anomalies, which appeared generally at the continental margin, are erased after Bouguer correction was applied. Complete Bouguer anomalies produced after terrain correction by GrOPO30 show that gravity anomalies increase from continent to marine. This phenomena seem to be related to the rise of Moho discontinuity. The cut-off frequency of 0.16 was decided after power spectrum analysis and the gravity anomalies were divided into two parts. Residual anomalies in high frequency part show that characteristics of high values along the faults and of low values related to thick sediments in the continent. Characteristic is low values from basement subsidence of continental slope or thick sediments in the marine. The undulation of Moho discontinuity from 3-D inversion modeling show typical characteristics of continental margin that become higher from Svalbard archipelago to Knipovich ridge bordering Eurasian plate.

A Gravity characteristic of Svalbard archipelago in Arctic was studied by using ArcGP data. There are situated the Dasan science station. After bouguer correction, an edge effect of free-air anomaly, which is similar to topography, are not shown at passive continent margin, and after terrain correction with GTOPO30 data, gravity anomaly increases from continent to marine. that is deep connected with rise of Moho discontinuity. The correlation of topography and free-air anomaly shows that the isostasy of continent attains a little less than marine. After filtering, the residual anomaly are shown high and low anomalies related to fracture zone in continent and base depression or thick sedimentary layer in continental slope, marine.

In 2020, the solar and space environment division at the Korea Space Science Society surveyed the status of data archives in solar physics, magnetosphere, and ionosphere/upper atmosphere in Korea to promote broader utilization of the data and research collaboration. The survey includes ground- and satellite-based instruments and developing models by research institutes and universities in Korea. Based on the survey results, this study reports the status of the ground-based instruments, data products in the ionosphere and upper atmosphere, and documentation of them. The ground-based instruments operated by the Korea Polar Research Institute and Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute include ionosonde, Fabry-Perot interferometer in Arctic Dasan stations, Antarctic King Sejong/Jang Bogo stations, and an all-sky camera, VHF radar in Korea. We also provide information on total electron content and scintillation observations derived from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) station networks in Korea. All data are available via the webpage, FTP, or by request. Information on ionospheric data and models is available at http://ksss.or.kr. We hope that this report will increase data accessibility and encourage the research community to engage in the establishment of a new Space Science Data Ecosystem, which supports archiving, searching, analyzing, and sharing the data with diverse communities, including educators, industries, and the public as wells as the research scientist.

Freshwater algal studies in North polar environments are relatively few. This study presented the algal-flora, -biomass and genetic features of dominant cells collected from temporary ponds around the Polar Research Station (PRS), Norway. Water samples were collected from 4 stations around PRS, and analyzed for their environmental and biological variables. Water temperature, salinity and conductivity ranged from 5 to $10^{\circ}C$, 0.1 to $0.3%_{\circ}$ and 0.21 to $0.36{\mu}S/cm$, respectively. Chlorophyll a concentration ranged from 1.8 to $11.1{\mu}g/l$, and that of the size-fractionated cells was recorded from 0.7 to $1.1{\mu}g/l$ in picoplankton 0.3 to $6.5{\mu}g/l$ in nanoplankton, and 0.4 to $3.9{\mu}g/l$ in microplankton respectively. Algal flora in the present study was recorded as 10 genera, in which Chlamydomonas, particularly, was dominant in all studied sites. By comparison of Chlamydomonas 18S rDNA sequences, including two isolates from PRS, they formed a distinct clade against others: sequence similarity was significantly low (<97.2%) with C. noctigama, being the highest score by BLAST search in GenBank. This study was valuable for basic knowledge regarding the freshwater algae around PRS and their genetic information.
