Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are presently dedicated to science and peace. Even though Turkey signed the Antarctic Treaty in 1995, it has not conducted any scientific study there until today. The First Turkish Antarctic Science Program Road Map Workshop was held on 18-19 November 2013 in Istanbul with the participation of national stakeholders and international experts from various countries to discuss the Turkish initiative for Antarctic research. The present paper summarizes the outcome of this workshop. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
