The Antarctic is one of the most pristine, and vulnerable regions on the Planet, and is rapidly changing under the impact of global warming. A better understanding of the Antarctic is key to analyzing changes in Earth’s ecosystem. Globally, women have been recognized for their cooperative skills, inclusiveness, and tendency to share and maintain public resources. The share of women in higher education has increased, but the percentage of women who occupy important decision-making and executive positions remains low, of less than 25% in science and technology, for example. It has become ever more important to increase women’s leadership and influence so we can be better equipped to deal with climate change and other challenges.
