ANTARCTIC-UMAG 2011 WAS THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL ANTARCTIC CONFERENCE ORGANIZED BY THE DPA - PROGRAMMING

in this space I noted the recent execution ANTARCTIC FIRST DAY at the University of Magallanes, organized and implemented by the Department of Antarctic and sub Antarctic Programs (DPA) of the same university. The results exceeded all expectations raised in its initial planning, considering that the main objective was to bring together all researchers, scientists and teachers who were tied in their subjects and projects with the work and Antarctic work and that they belong to the University of Magellan. The DPA was absolutely clear that there was a significant number of initiatives and projects that often go without being noticed what is happening in Antarctic research towards the development of knowledge itself and primarily for the care and preservation of these remote areas in Antarctica. At the same time points to highlight was the space researchers gave college students who are developing and Antarctic studies alongside those of their guardians gave quality and enhance the day, who were very interested in your attention and active participation was the presence of Antarctic logistics operators belonging to the Armed Forces as was the case of heads of departments and Antarctic logistics Chile Navy Captain and Captain Alfonso Zamora the "icebreaker Oscar Viel", Jorge Montenegro, Chile's Air Force Commander Miguel Figueroa and representatives of Chile Army colonel and captain Rafael Castillo Veronica Parra. You could say that as ornamentation of these days in space used is mounted a photo exhibition which stood out didactically and thinking about developing other exposures of the same tenor to the general public, images related to the Antarctic continent and its counterpart in the hemisphere North, the unique characterization of Antarctic penguins with impressive images of contrasting colors and shapes of their heads makes them different in different species, the logistic support to enter the Antarctic and the activities of research and science in the white continent. finally made the afternoon a panel of researchers invited to work out the details of the Plan Strategic DPA, which was pleasantly well-developed and significant contributions to help strengthen the Antarctic policy of the University of Magallanes.
