An international workshop held in Chicago in August 2008, with support from the NSF, considered the opportunities and problems associated with establishing a new Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR), and related instrumentation, at high latitude in the southern hemisphere. Quasi-continuous ISR observations in the southern auroral oval and polar cap have huge potential for solar- terrestrial physics (STP) easily justifying the effort, and cost, of creating such a capability. The workshop identified two general locations, in the vicinity of the US station at McMurdo or the Australian station at Davis. Each site would have conjugate ties to existing northern hemisphere instrumentation, at Resolute Bay and Svalbard respectively, and each offers exciting and relevant scientific opportunities to both the research and service communities. In this poster we will present some of the main science drivers requiring the construction of a high latitude southern ISR as well indicating the differences between the studies which could be potentially conducted at the two locations. In addition to the strong and developing science case, we will also illustrate some early concepts for installation and management, the technological challenges, and a possible development timeline which could lead to the first ever availability of an Antarctic incoherent scatter radar even before the next solar maximum in four to five years' time.
