During their 20th Antarctic expedition to the Czech J.G. Mendel Station on James Ross Island, young scientists experienced an average weight gain. This surprising finding comes from body measurements and 3D full-body and facial scans conducted before and after the expedition by Masaryk University, Faculty of Science anthropologists using the A.D.A.P.T. software platform.
