Here we present why we decided to undertake a site characterization at Dome C, Antarctica following a first step made at South Pole. It was clear that poor seeing measured at South Pole was mainly due to ground catabatic wind interacting with strong vertical temperature (refractive index) gradient. Thus, we though to move to Dome C where no...
