43. <p>“We have experienced an exceptional week. It has been a resounding success from every perspective: the hospitality, the organisation, the preparation of the sports, the volunteers&#8230; The standard is rising with each edition. We are increasingly aware that, in terms of athletic performance across all disciplines, there is a continual need for improvement. Medals are becoming ever more difficult to obtain. And in every sport, we often see that the victories of the previous edition are not repeated in the next.</p>
44. <p>It has been a great pleasure for all delegations. Now, it is Monaco’s turn. Our intention is to surprise everyone&#8230; but for now, we shall say no more.”</p>

177. <p>A few days before the start of the competition 2025 Games of the Small States of Europe, the President of the Andorran Gymnastics Federation, Eva Rodríguez, expressed optimism about the prospects of the country’s gymnasts:</p>
178. <p>“We are presenting three gymnasts: one senior, Berta Miquel, and two juniors, Lía Puigdemassa and Noa Lepua. We hope to reach the finals on Saturday and, perhaps, we expect a few surprises,” she said enthusiastically.</p>
179. <p>And indeed, the surprise arrived. Berta Miquel Solé, 19, delivered a superb performance, securing three silver medals over just two days of competition. We spoke with Berta, the silver medallist and Andorran gymnast, following her remarkable achievement.</p>
180. <p>&#8220;I am extremely happy and, above all, I am proud of the work I have managed to present on the carpet. It has been two very intense days with an exceptionally high level of competition. We did not expect to be in contention for the podium, let alone qualify for all four finals, so these results have come as a tremendous surprise.</p>
181. <p>To be able to compete against gymnasts of such level and come away with three silver medals is an enormous reward for all the effort that has been invested. I train for seven hours a day, except on Wednesdays and Saturdays, when I do four, and since the age of 12 or 13 I have followed a very demanding training routine.</p>
182. <p>When I step onto the carpet, I think of nothing. I know precisely what I have to do: every movement, every gesture&#8230; and I try to execute it with calmness and confidence. It is the result of many hours of preparation and frequent competition; when it becomes deeply ingrained, it is much easier to concentrate&#8221;.</p>

215. <p><strong>Interview by Irina Rybalchenko</strong></p>
216. <p><em><strong>Could you please explain what an athlete’s diet consists of?</strong></em></p>
217. <p>An athlete’s diet should always include three essential components. Firstly, energy-rich foods such as pasta, rice, potatoes, legumes, cereals, or bread.</p>
218. <p>Secondly, it must contain protein-rich foods, which can be of animal origin (like meat or fish), or plant-based (such as legumes or other sources of plant protein).</p>
219. <p>And finally, the third essential element is vegetables, which can be raw—such as colourful salads—or cooked, such as various types of vegetables: broccoli, courgette, green beans, escalivada (roasted vegetables), peppers, mushrooms, etc.</p>
220. <p>Our goal is for the athlete to be able to choose from these three major food groups according to their needs, and to adjust the quantities based on their energy requirements.</p>
221. <p><em><strong>Due to recent trends in nutrition, more and more people are becoming vegetarian. Is this trend also common among athletes? Are there many who do not eat meat?</strong></em></p>
222. <p>Yes, there are quite a few athletes who don’t eat meat, but that doesn’t mean they don’t consume protein. It’s very important for athletes to include protein in their diet, and if they don’t get it from animal sources, they can obtain it from plant-based sources.</p>
223. <p>Some options include legumes, textured soy, plant-based meatballs, seitan… There’s a wide variety of protein-rich foods of plant origin. In fact, we’ve encountered several athletes here who follow this type of diet, and it works perfectly well &#8211; provided it’s properly planned.</p>
224. <p><a href="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marta-Pons_La-dieta-dun-esportista-ha-dincloure-sempre-tres-elements-basics.jpg" class="light"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-401958" src="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marta-Pons_La-dieta-dun-esportista-ha-dincloure-sempre-tres-elements-basics.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="600" srcset="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marta-Pons_La-dieta-dun-esportista-ha-dincloure-sempre-tres-elements-basics.jpg 900w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marta-Pons_La-dieta-dun-esportista-ha-dincloure-sempre-tres-elements-basics-300x200.jpg 300w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marta-Pons_La-dieta-dun-esportista-ha-dincloure-sempre-tres-elements-basics-768x512.jpg 768w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marta-Pons_La-dieta-dun-esportista-ha-dincloure-sempre-tres-elements-basics-800x533.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
225. <p><em><strong>How long before a competition should an athlete eat &#8211; both for professionals and amateurs?</strong></em></p>
226. <p>Ideally, an athlete should eat at least two hours before competing. This ensures that by the time they have to perform, they’ve completed digestion, their stomach is empty, and they feel comfortable.</p>
227. <p>That way, the nutrients are already available to the muscles and ready to support physical performance. This two-hour window is a good reference point to ensure they’re in optimal condition at the time of competition.</p>
228. <p><em><strong>And when it comes to drinks, what’s your recommendation? Smoothies, juices, or water?</strong></em></p>
229. <p>Water is essential for maintaining proper hydration. However, when an athlete sweats heavily, water alone is not enough. In those cases, it’s important to include drinks that also contain mineral salts.</p>
230. <p>For example, gazpacho can be an excellent option. Even though it’s technically a “blended salad,” it functions as a recovery drink because it’s liquid, refreshing, and rich in mineral salts.</p>
231. <p>We also offer plant-based drinks, such as oat milk, which can contribute to hydration &#8211; especially when included as part of a balanced diet. Finally, many athletes bring their own isotonic drinks, already prepared with a specific composition of mineral salts and sugar tailored to their personal needs.</p>
232. <p><em><strong>Do international teams bring their own nutrition specialists, or are you in charge here?</strong></em></p>
233. <p>Most teams have a nutritionist who guides them based on each athlete’s needs &#8211; taking into account their discipline, physical profile, and performance goals—and advises them on what and how to eat.</p>
234. <p>Here, we’ve prepared a buffet where athletes can find all the necessary components to eat properly and meet their nutritional needs.</p>
235. <p><em><strong>Why is nutrition so important for athletes, from your professional perspective?</strong></em></p>
236. <p>Athletic performance often depends on how well one has eaten. In other words, even if you train hard, if you’re not properly nourished, you could experience cramping, run out of energy reserves, or suffer from muscle weakness.</p>
237. <p>An athlete who requires between 4,000 and 5,000 calories a day should be drinking between 4 and 5 litres of water daily. By contrast, someone with lower energy needs who does less sport might be fine with 1.5 to 2 litres per day.</p>
238. <p>Additionally, many people consume a lot of salad and fruit, which helps meet part of their hydration needs through food.</p>
239. <p><em><strong>How many litres of water should people drink per day? I’ve heard the minimum is two litres &#8211; is that true?</strong></em></p>
240. <p>Of course, this depends somewhat on the outside temperature, physical activity, and how much the person sweats. In the case of athletes, hydration needs are closely tied to their energy expenditure.</p>
241. <p>For instance, an athlete who requires between 4,000 and 5,000 calories daily should drink between 4 and 5 litres of water. In contrast, someone who is less active and has lower energy requirements may only need 1.5 to 2 litres a day.</p>
242. <p>It’s also worth noting that some people consume a lot of salad and fruit, which contain a high water content. In these cases, a significant portion of hydration actually comes from food.</p>
243. <p><em><strong>From your point of view, is everything well organised here? Are the athletes satisfied?</strong></em></p>
244. <p>When we designed this buffet, we did so with the three main pillars of sports nutrition in mind.</p>
245. <p>There’s a dedicated vegetable section, with both raw options like salads and cooked vegetables, which we vary daily. It’s very important to rotate the colours of the vegetables, as each colour provides different vitamins. That’s why we aim for variety in both type and presentation.</p>
246. <p>Then there’s always a carbohydrate option, such as pasta or rice. Pasta, for example, is highly requested without sauce, so we provide the sauces separately so each athlete can dress it as they wish—with oil or other condiments.</p>
247. <p>As for protein, there’s great acceptance: we offer meat, fish, and also a plant-based option, which is increasingly popular among athletes.</p>
248. <p>One important note: no fruit contains protein &#8211; they are sources of vitamins. For instance, melons and watermelons are fruits that hydrate, as we discussed earlier. Then you have bananas, which are rich in potassium, and kiwis, which are high in vitamin C. We rotate the fruit selection regularly.</p>
249. <p><em><strong>You are the co-author of the cookbook Fogons de salut. Do you have plans to write another book?</strong></em></p>
250. <p>Yes, I would love to! I really enjoy sharing because I think it’s not easy to find information that combines gastronomy, nutrition, and health. There are plenty of recipes and a lot of information about healthy eating, but sometimes it’s hard to find resources that integrate both well.</p>
251. <p>For me, the pleasure of eating is very important. Obviously, it’s essential to be well-nourished, but it’s also fundamental to enjoy the food &#8211; eating locally sourced products, good-quality ingredients, well-prepared…</p>
252. <p>That’s why I always try to build partnerships with people who work in the culinary world.</p>

283. <p>Kevin Teixeira is a young athlete from Andorra. He has been swimming since the age of three and trains every day for six hours, Monday to Friday, demonstrating great consistency and commitment to his performance. On 28 May, Teixeira, who is part of the Andorran Swimming Federation (FAN), won his second individual gold medal at the JPEE Championship. He did so in the final of the 1,500-metre freestyle, a demanding event which he led almost from start to finish.</p>
284. <p>“Honestly, I’m very happy. Yesterday I was a bit nervous because it was my first event, and being here in Andorra, in my home country, I was really afraid of doing badly, of not living up to my level. But today I was calmer, I felt much more at ease, and I was able to give my best.</p>
285. <p>This is my second gold medal, and we’re hoping to go for a third in the 400-metre freestyle. I’ve been swimming since I was three years old, but I’ve been training seriously for about four years. I train in France with Fred Vergnoux as part of a FINA programme. I’m really happy to be training with some of the best in the world.”</p>
286. <p>______________</p>
287. <p>*At these Games, Kevin Teixeira has won a total of four medals — three golds and one bronze.</p>

316. <p>Marc Reig Arnau is a 26-year-old athlete from Andorra. He has been practising judo since the age of eight. He enjoys the sport because it helps him stay organised and make the most of his time. This year he has won a bronze medal.</p>
317. <p>&#8220;This medal leaves a very good taste because it’s a truly special one. I’m at home, surrounded by my people: family, friends, acquaintances&#8230; even people I don’t know, but who cheer me on. It’s been incredible!</p>
318. <p>Every judoka is different. It’s true that some countries have a particular style — for example, some work very well on the ground. There’s always some detail you can recognise, but overall, it’s quite free; everyone has their own style.</p>
319. <p>Victory doesn’t happen on the day of the competition. Victory is all the years of training behind you: the perseverance, the effort, the dedication, and the motivation. And in the end, sooner or later, if you put in the time and you’re committed, the medal eventually comes. And that’s a victory — not just because you’ve won a competition, but because of the whole journey.</p>
320. <p><a href="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marc-Reig-Arnau-Andorra-2025.jpg" class="light"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-401933" src="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marc-Reig-Arnau-Andorra-2025.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="600" srcset="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marc-Reig-Arnau-Andorra-2025.jpg 900w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marc-Reig-Arnau-Andorra-2025-300x200.jpg 300w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marc-Reig-Arnau-Andorra-2025-768x512.jpg 768w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marc-Reig-Arnau-Andorra-2025-800x533.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
321. <p>It’s the victory of having done judo since the age of eight, of never having stopped, of always carrying on, training day after day. The victory is everything you carry with you. The competition is just another milestone on that path.</p>
322. <p>I believe it’s better to lose a lot than to win a lot. Because if you win too much, you get used to it. And when you get used to it, you might even end up losing the motivation to keep going. On the other hand, when you lose, it pushes you to get back up and train harder. If you’ve lost to someone or in a competition, you set yourself a goal: &#8216;I want to come back and win that fight.&#8217;</p>
323. <p>Judo is a fundamental part of my life. And I’ve won because I’ve never stopped training — not in the easy moments, and not in the hard ones.</p>
324. <p><a href="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marc-Reig-Arnau-Andorra.jpg" class="light"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-401937" src="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marc-Reig-Arnau-Andorra.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="600" srcset="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marc-Reig-Arnau-Andorra.jpg 900w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marc-Reig-Arnau-Andorra-300x200.jpg 300w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marc-Reig-Arnau-Andorra-768x512.jpg 768w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Marc-Reig-Arnau-Andorra-800x533.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
325. <p>I think there are three types of people in life: those who have talent and train hard — those are the Olympic champions. Then there are people who have talent but don’t train — they might win at first, but when the tough moments come, they can’t handle it and give up. And then, there are people like me, who may not be that talented, but who train all their lives and never give up.&#8221;</p>

530. <p data-start="268" data-end="610"><strong>Javier Cacho Gómez</strong> is a physicist, researcher, writer, and one of Spain’s leading figures in the exploration of the polar regions. His scientific journey began in the 1980s at the country’s National Commission for Space Research (CONIE), where he focused on the study of the ozone layer—an area of inquiry that would shape much of his career.</p>
531. <p data-start="612" data-end="813">That work culminated in the 1989 publication of <em data-start="660" data-end="688">Antarctica: The Ozone Hole</em>, a groundbreaking book that was not only the first in Spanish on the subject but also the second of its kind in the world.</p>
532. <p data-start="815" data-end="1230">In 1986, Cacho took part in Spain’s first scientific expedition to Antarctica—a defining moment that set the course for his future. He would return to the continent many times, including enduring the harsh Antarctic winter, to continue his ozone research. He later served as head of multiple missions and was appointed commander of the Juan Carlos I Antarctic Base, Spain’s primary scientific outpost in the region.</p>
533. <p data-start="1232" data-end="1730">But Cacho’s impact extends beyond science. He is also an accomplished communicator and advocate for public understanding of polar science. Blending scientific insight with storytelling, he has written children’s tales and narrative works inspired by his experiences in Antarctica, including <em data-start="1523" data-end="1555">Piti’s Adventures in Antarctica</em> (Ediciones Tao, 2001). He frequently tours the country giving lectures—particularly to students—sharing the wonders and urgency of the polar world with audiences of all ages.</p>
534. <p data-start="84" data-end="137"><strong data-start="84" data-end="137">Interview: Irina Rybalchenko, Valery Mostakov</strong></p>
535. <p data-start="51" data-end="196"><em><strong>Could you tell us about your participation in Antarctic expeditions and how your scientific and outreach work has evolved over the years?</strong></em></p>
536. <p>I’m an atmospheric scientist, and my research has long focused on the atmosphere—particularly the ozone layer. When the alarming depletion of ozone over Antarctica was discovered in 1984, I, like many scientists working in this field, felt compelled to go there. At that time, Spain was organizing its first scientific expedition to the continent. I volunteered—and was accepted.</p>
537. <p>Over time, my career gradually shifted. Scientific work gave way to writing and education. Sharing knowledge has always been deeply important to me, especially when it comes to such a fascinating subject as the ozone hole and Antarctica. For nearly fifteen years now, I’ve been writing about the region—its natural wonders, the history of its exploration, and the legendary polar adventurers who shaped our understanding of it.</p>
538. <p>I’ve written extensively about Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer who became the first person to reach the South Pole in 1911; Robert Falcon Scott, the British naval officer whose tragic expedition followed soon after in 1912; and Ernest Shackleton, renowned for his heroic leadership during the ill-fated Endurance expedition. My curiosity eventually led me northward as well, to the Arctic, where I discovered a wealth of equally compelling stories. One of them inspired me to write a book on Fridtjof Nansen, whose daring ski crossing of Greenland in 1888 marked the first successful attempt to traverse the island.</p>
539. <p>Though I’m now officially retired, I continue to give lectures and talks whenever I’m invited. The polar regions still captivate me—and I hope they’ll continue to inspire others too.</p>
540. <p data-start="1522" data-end="1636"><em><strong>What does Antarctica mean to the world? After all, it seems like a remote, bleak place—almost entirely covered in ice&#8230;</strong></em></p>
541. <p data-start="260" data-end="614">Antarctica is a symbol of hope for all of humanity. It is a new continent, discovered only recently—just about two hundred years ago. All the other continents had been known long before. For example, New Zealand was discovered by Europeans in 1642, while Antarctica wasn’t reached until 1820. The reason is simple: getting there was incredibly difficult.</p>
542. <p data-start="616" data-end="1031">And yet, we did it. And what we found was astonishing. Antarctica is enormous—14 million square kilometers. It is covered by an ice sheet with an average thickness of more than three kilometers. It is the coldest place on Earth and one of the key climate centers of the planet, alongside the North Pole and the equator. This is where ocean currents are born, currents that distribute heat and cold across the globe.</p>
543. <p data-start="1033" data-end="1215">That’s Antarctica’s geographical importance. But for humanity, Antarctica is above all a symbol of hope—because it is here that an agreement was reached that still holds to this day.</p>
544. <p data-start="1217" data-end="1591">Antarctica is a land without borders. There are no weapons, no armies, no military bases. If military personnel are present, it is only to support scientific missions. It is a continent open to all scientists. Any country can establish a research station here, anywhere it deems appropriate. There is no need to ask anyone’s permission, because Antarctica belongs to no one.</p>
545. <p data-start="1593" data-end="1931">It is a unique place where countries have managed to come to an agreement. Stations are shared. Ships are shared. Aircraft are shared. And most importantly, there is a spirit of cooperation and solidarity among the people who work in Antarctica. All of this was made possible thanks to the Antarctic Treaty, which came into force in 1961.</p>
546. <p data-start="1933" data-end="2289">This happened at the height of the Cold War, when tensions between the U.S. and the USSR were extremely high. And yet, twelve countries came together and decided to create something unique—something that belonged to no one. Some of them had already laid territorial claims, but they agreed to set them aside and work together. That was a real sign of hope.</p>
547. <p data-start="2291" data-end="2403">Antarctica is not just a vast, icy continent. It is a reminder that we once managed to overcome our differences.</p>
548. <p data-start="3690" data-end="3828"><em><strong data-start="3690" data-end="3828">Antarctica is a largely unexplored continent that, in addition to ice, holds valuable resources. What is your opinion? Should research in Antarctica continue?</strong></em></p>
549. <p>The extraction of natural resources, including minerals and fossil fuels, is strictly prohibited in Antarctica. Although there is evidence of significant reserves of oil and gas beneath the continent, these have been deliberately left unexplored. Scientists have found indications of their existence—but that’s all we know.</p>
550. <p>Rare minerals and large deposits of iron ore have also been discovered. Yet, under the Antarctic Treaty, which governs all activity in the region, the extraction of these resources is forbidden.</p>
551. <p><a href="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Javier-Cacho-zodiac-Antartida-min.jpg" class="light"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-401723" src="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Javier-Cacho-zodiac-Antartida-min.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="675" srcset="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Javier-Cacho-zodiac-Antartida-min.jpg 900w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Javier-Cacho-zodiac-Antartida-min-300x225.jpg 300w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Javier-Cacho-zodiac-Antartida-min-768x576.jpg 768w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Javier-Cacho-zodiac-Antartida-min-800x600.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
552. <p data-start="79" data-end="127"><em><strong>Is there oil in Antarctica? And when might its extraction be allowed?</strong></em></p>
553. <p>Yes, it is highly likely that oil exists in Antarctica, but its extraction is strictly prohibited. This prohibition is established by the Antarctic Treaty, originally signed by 12 countries in 1959 and now ratified by 56 nations. According to the Madrid Protocol, adopted in 1991, all activities related to the extraction of mineral resources—as well as any military operations—are banned on the continent. The protocol is set to remain in force for 50 years, until 2048. Until then, any resource extraction in Antarctica remains illegal.</p>
554. <p>In 2048, the Madrid Protocol will come up for review. The signatory countries will need to decide whether to extend it or amend its provisions. That decision must be made by consensus.</p>
555. <p>However, the global landscape has changed. Respect for international agreements has weakened in recent years, and that creates uncertainty about the future commitments of states. In the past, signing a treaty implied legal and political responsibility that extended beyond changes in government. This principle of continuity was a foundation of international law for decades.</p>
556. <p data-start="1252" data-end="1418"><em><strong>What are the long-term environmental and social consequences of Greenland and Antarctic ice melt, and how might this accelerate global climate change?</strong></em></p>
557. <p data-start="105" data-end="405">I believe the consequences won’t be immediate. We are doing the right thing by striving to be responsible toward the environment. The melting of Greenland’s ice sheet is an inevitable process. Greenland is a remnant of the last Ice Age, and its melting will happen gradually, as all scientists agree.</p>
558. <p data-start="407" data-end="552">Could this accelerate climate change? Yes, it’s possible. Scientists estimate that Greenland could largely melt within the next 100 to 200 years.</p>
559. <p data-start="554" data-end="789">So there is no need to panic—we still have time to act. Similar processes are happening in Antarctica, which has experienced warmer climate phases than previously expected. Despite these changes, significant ice loss there is unlikely.</p>
560. <p data-start="791" data-end="1148">Climate change will be felt most strongly in the polar regions because the ice there is especially vulnerable, particularly in the Arctic. In Antarctica, the situation is less critical: some melting may occur in certain areas, but it won’t cause a major rise in sea levels. Overall, catastrophic scenarios linked to ice melt do not currently seem realistic.</p>
561. <p data-start="2505" data-end="2658"><em><strong>How do climate change and human activities affect Antarctica’s flora and fauna, and what measures are taken to protect the ecosystem from invasive species?</strong></em></p>
562. <p data-start="141" data-end="643">Antarctica lacks traditional flora, but climate change and increasing human activity—especially tourism—are creating new threats to the local ecosystem. Rising temperatures and growing numbers of visitors increase the risk of invasive plant and animal species being introduced via boots and equipment, allowing them to survive in areas where they previously could not. This poses a serious risk to the fragile ecosystem, as invasive plants can outcompete native species and disrupt the natural balance.</p>
563. <p data-start="645" data-end="769">To minimize this impact, tourist vessels are equipped with special cleaning machines designed to remove seeds from footwear.</p>
564. <p data-start="771" data-end="1204">The problem extends beyond flora to fauna as well. For example, rats have appeared on South Georgia Island, threatening local bird populations by eating their eggs. These invasive species pose a severe danger to chicks, as there were no rodents on the island before their arrival. In response, eradication programs have been implemented to protect native wildlife. Such measures are a vital part of preserving Antarctica’s ecosystem.</p>
565. <p data-start="105" data-end="209"><em><strong data-start="105" data-end="209">How often do scientific expeditions take place in Antarctica? What are researchers working on today?</strong></em></p>
566. <p data-start="211" data-end="577">Numerous expeditions continue to operate in Antarctica today, with scientists studying a wide range of priority topics—from microbiology and wildlife to climate change and plant life. This work reflects the principle of “freedom of scientific research,” allowing researchers to choose their areas of study based on their interests and the significance of the issues.</p>
567. <p><a href="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Javier-Cacho-aurora-min.jpg" class="light"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-401727" src="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Javier-Cacho-aurora-min.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="900" srcset="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Javier-Cacho-aurora-min.jpg 650w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Javier-Cacho-aurora-min-217x300.jpg 217w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></a></p>
568. <p data-start="67" data-end="134"><em><strong>What are the most important discoveries made during these expeditions?</strong></em></p>
569. <p data-start="136" data-end="544">It is difficult to pinpoint which discoveries have been the most significant, as this varies depending on the field of study. Biologists, meteorologists, and other specialists may have differing opinions and results. However, one of the most discussed topics today is microplastics, which have been found in Antarctica. Many research teams are actively studying their impact, although microplastics are also widespread in the Pacific Ocean.</p>
570. <p data-start="546" data-end="622"><em><strong>Hypothetical question: What would happen if all the ice in Antarctica melted?</strong></em></p>
571. <p data-start="130" data-end="364">This would indeed be a catastrophic scenario, but it is important to understand that it is purely hypothetical—much like asking what would happen if oxygen disappeared from the atmosphere. In that case, of course, we would all perish.</p>
572. <p data-start="366" data-end="775">According to some estimates, if all the ice in Antarctica melted, global sea levels would rise by about 60 meters—that’s equivalent to a twenty-story building. All coastal infrastructure below this height would be submerged. However, this scenario is extremely unlikely. Studies have shown that much of Antarctica has already experienced temperatures higher than those projected under continued CO₂ emissions.</p>
573. <p data-start="777" data-end="1013">If no action is taken to combat climate change, temperatures in Antarctica are expected to rise, but this would likely lead to a sea level rise of only 6 to 7 meters. This is a projection for the future, about 100 to 200 years from now.</p>
574. <p data-start="1441" data-end="1505"><em><strong>How much attention do Spanish scientists devote to the study of Antarctica?</strong></em></p>
575. <p data-start="96" data-end="433">Spain is actively involved in Antarctic research and environmental protection. The country operates two scientific stations in Antarctica during the summer season, hosting around 300 scientists at these bases. Spain also maintains a fleet of oceanographic vessels. Overall, Spain invests significantly in Antarctic exploration and study.</p>
576. <p data-start="435" data-end="1077">However, what concerns me more is the potential shift in policy from some leading global powers. For example, one world leader has previously expressed the idea of purchasing Greenland, and following that logic, could also propose withdrawing from the Antarctic Treaty. Such a move might pave the way for companies from that country to begin activities in the region. Even then, it is unlikely that other nations would start establishing military bases or deploying equipment there, in order to avoid conflicts. While anything is possible, I still believe that this will not happen and that the Antarctic Treaty will continue to be respected.</p>

3. Add this HTML to your page (change the image src attribute if necessary):

   <a href="http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=https%3A//all-andorra.com/feed/"><img src="valid-rss-rogers.png" alt="[Valid RSS]" title="Validate my RSS feed" /></a>

If you would like to create a text link instead, here is the URL you can use:

http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=https%3A//all-andorra.com/feed/
