Full phys.org title: Antarctic submillimeter telescope enables more complete view of the carbon cycle in star-forming regions

  Researchers have braved the cold and harsh environment of Antarctica in order to get a unique view of star formation in the interstellar medium (ISM).

  The Research Expedition has managed to complete a study at Dome A—the highest ice dome on the Antarctic Plateau—and successfully collected submillimeter data to form a better understanding of carbon cycling in the ISM.
