Brief Description (Abstract):

The ice-covered land of Antarctica seems to appear to the social scientists as stressful due to various reasons, which includes the extreme environmental conditions prevailing there. With the backdrop of the condition prevailing at Antarctica, it was planned to examine the nature and extent of stress under Antarctic conditions, to understand the coping mechanism and direct action taken by people to combat stress, to understand and analyze the correlation between various stressors and to administer and ascertain anxiety levels and perceived loneliness among the groups (N=48) belonging to 20th Indian expedition to Antarctica. The results revealed that the conditions prevailing at the Antarctic base seems to play a major role where all the factors seems to have mingled and affected each other in either positive or negative manner.
