No reliable sources found to show that this is not just a castle in the air or a hoax. The institute is not listed in Robert K. Headland's A Chronology of Antarctic Exploration, neither are the research stations recently added (and removed by me) to the article Research stations in Antarctica. Information about the founder, Austin Mardon, can be found here. 4ing (talk) 21:52, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

- Delete in the absence of reliable sources verifying the information given. It appears that the institute is run by Austin Mardon who created the article, and he is known in Canada for his promotion of the rights of those with disabilities. He has received the Order of Canada for this work, and the citation is helpful in confirming this. Neither Dr Mardon nor the institute are mentioned at the Canadian Polar Commission website. --AJHingston (talk) 10:44, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
