Scientific paper

An overview of Astronomy in Antarctica will be given, highlighting the unique environment on the summits of the Antarctic plateau. These provide superlative conditions for a wide range of astronomical observations: the lowest levels of seeing in the visible of any location on our planet, the lowest sky backgrounds in the infrared, and the best atmospheric transmission across windows in the infrared and sub-millimetre. Particular attention will be given to the opportunities presented for astronomy from the high plateau sites of Dome A and Dome C.
