Abstract

AbstractThe Antarctic Plateau (Dome C, also Dome A) is emerging as an especially good sitefor astronomical observations (high, dry, cold, no wind, good free seeing above a certainboundary layer). Over the last few years, several meetings and conferences tookplace to discuss potential astrophysical science cases for such exceptional atmosphericconditions. I summarise my personal conclusions from these discussions and presenta global vision (roadmap) for Antarctic Astronomy for future optical, near-IR, thermal-IR, andfar-IR/sub-mm observations. The need for international collaboration between Europe, Australia and China is stressed.
