By Lee Kyung-min


The government will build an inland research station in Antarctica by 2030, as part of a long-term plan to elevate the country's standing in the global science and research community, the oceans ministry said Tuesday. About 277.4 billion won ($205 million) will be spent by 2027 to construct the 15,000-ton Araon 2, the latest model of the icebreaker research vessel Araon built in 2009.
해양수산부는 화요일 국제 과학 및 연구 분야에서 한국의 위상을 높이는 장기적 계획의 일환으로 정부가 2030년까지 남국 내륙기지를 구축할 계획이라고 밝혔다. 2009년 건조된 쇄빙연구선 아라온호의 차세대 연구선이자 1만5천톤 급 아라온2호를 2027년까지 건설하기 위해 약 2천774억원이 투입될 예정이다.


The chief priority of the first comprehensive policy assistance package is to secure greater power and influence in the global science and technology hegemonic war, marked by fierce competition over the past few decades.
사상 첫 포괄적 정책 지원 계획의 최우선 사항은 지난 몇 년 동안 치열한 경쟁을 보인 국제 과학기술 패권 전쟁에서 더 큰 영향력을 확보하는 것이다.


Equally important is conducting research on methods of countering climate change, an initiative that cannot continue without global cooperation in the years to come.
앞으로 국제적 협력 없이 진행이 불가능한 계획인 기후 변화에 대응하는 방식을 탐색하는 연구 실시도 동일하게 중요하다.


The envisioned construction will make Korea the sixth global player to have an inland station on the continent, following the U.S. Russia, France, Japan, China and Italy.
이 건설 계획으로 한국은 미국, 러시아, 프랑스, 일본, 중국과 이탈리아에 이어 내륙에 기지를 보유한 세계 6번째 국가가 될 것이다.


The presence of Korea's Antarctic research is growing, as evidenced by the appointment last year of Kim Yea-dong as president of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). SCAR is an international research organization of the International Science Council (ISC), a non-governmental body.
지난 해 남극연구과학위원회(SCAR) 의장 김예동 한국극지연구위원회 위원장이 선정되면서 남극 연구에서 한국의 존재감은 올라가고 있다. SCAR은 국제과학연맹(ISC)의 산하기관으로 민간 국제 학술기구이다.


At the North Pole on the other side of the planet, Korea holds observer country status on the Arctic Council, a high-level intergovernmental forum established to address issues of Arctic governments and the Indigenous peoples of the Arctic.
한편 지구 반대편에 있는 북극에서는 북극 행정 및 토착민 관련 문제를 다루기 위해 창설된 정부간 협의기구인 북극이사회로부터 정식 옵서버 자격을 획득했다.

The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries said the plan will help advance Korea's rapidly growing Antarctic research capabilities, encompassing economic activities, international cooperation and training of experts.
해양수산부는 위 계획이 경제 활동, 국제 협력 및 전문가 양성을 포함하여 빠르게 성장하는 한국의 남극 연구 능력 발전에 기여할 것이라고 전했다.


"Korea is about 30 years late in joining the South Pole research activities, but we have more than made up for that in our efforts to build two non-inland stations in Antarctica and an icebreaker research vessel over the past few years," Oceans and Fisheries Minister Cho Seung-hwan said during a press briefing at Sejong Government Complex, Monday.
월요일 세종정부청사에서 열린 기자회견에서 조승환 해양수산부 장관은 "한국의 극지 연구는 약 30년 늦게 시작됐지만 지난 몇 년 동안 남극에 해양기지 2개를 건설하고 쇄빙연구선을 건조하며 더 많이 노력해왔다"고 말했다.


The polar regions are the first to experience the deadly effects of climate change, the ministry said, a reason why global cooperation is needed to solve problems to help prevent the sea level from rising, for example.
해수부는 극지가 기후 변화의 치명적인 영향을 가장 처음 경험하는 지역이라는 점이 해수면 상승과 같은 문제를 해결하기 위한 국제적 협력이 필요한 이유라고 덧붙였다.


The melting of sea ice brings cold waves to Korea. The global sea level will rise by approximately 58 meters if all Antarctic glaciers melt. This in turn will cause global flooding on a catastrophic scale.
빙하가 녹으면 한국에 한파를 불러일으킨다. 남극 빙하가 모두 녹는 경우 전세계 해수면은 58m 가까이 상승한다. 이는 곧 재해 수준의 국제적 홍수를 유발할 것이다.


"The research not only is an action of global commitment but also an opportunity for Korea to develop technologies to spur economic growth," Cho said.
조 장관은 "이 연구는 세계적 약속에서 시작한 행동일 뿐만 아니라 한국의 경제 성장에 박차를 가할 기술을 개발할 수 있는 기회"라고 덧붙였다.
