Scientists Reveal What Happened When 12 People Were Trapped Together in Antarctica for 10 Months

12 June 2026 at 15:44
Tension Doctors Arguing Fighting ConflictA study at one of Earth’s most isolated research stations offers new clues about how teams adapt during long periods of confinement. When people are isolated in extreme environments, it seems intuitive that spending more time together would strengthen social bonds. But new research suggests that under the right conditions, constant contact may actually create [...]
