As part of the RiSCC (Regional Sensitivity to Climate Change in Antarctic Terrestrial and Limnetic Ecosystems) program sponsored by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), the REGAL (Research on Ecology and Geohistory on Antarctic Lakes) project has been conducted around the Syowa Station area. The first period of the program (REGAL-I) was promoted from 1994/1995 to 2000/2001, aiming to understand the structure and history of the Antarctic lake ecosystem. The progress of REGAL-I is summarized preparatory to drawing up the plan of REGAL-II from 2003/2004 to 2004/2005.
