Therefore, it is mandatory that the prospective temporary residents at the Argentine Antarctic Stations have intimate convictions to carry out experiences in the Antarctica being totally aware of and accepting life as it is in that continent. The artists shall timely submit a physical and psychological fitness certificate and a certificate of commitment with environment protection.
