Snacks in Antarctica: Fuel for Extreme Conditions

No permanent residents; visitors (scientists, support staff, tourists) rely on portable, high-energy, non-perishable foods:

• Freeze-dried fruits/vegetables
• Protein/energy bars
• Trail mix (nuts, seeds, dried fruit)
• Chocolate, candy (quick calories)
• Cheese, crackers (shelf-stable)

Bases have full kitchens; field rations prioritize calorie density, freeze resistance, minimal waste.
