We left our scientists out in the cold

We established a research station in Antarctica

Founded on James Ross Island by polar explorer Pavel Prošek, the university station bears the name of Gregor Johann Mendel, the father of modern genetics. Thanks to research conducted at the station, the Czech Republic has been a voting member of the Antarctic Treaty System since 2007.
