From a series of cross-cultural studies on the evolution of group or network structue in Antarctic research stations it is evident that despite similarity in natural environments (e.g., cold, isolation), organizational goals (e.g., conducting science), formal organizational structure, physical settings, group size, and duration of isolation across yeas, group dynamics can vary dramatically from one group to another even within the same physical and cultural settings.
