...Antarctica is a land of mystery and paradox-and a priceless laboratory for the world's scientists. Last week, as the southern summer moderated Antarctica's frigid climate, some 160 U.S. scientists and 100 scientists from other nations stepped up their activity in a friendly race to unlock the secrets of the white continent...
