Abstract
We report briefly on the status of the French-Italian base at Dôme C, on the inner Antarctica Plateau, at 3280 m above the sea level. The base is under construction in the framework of the Concordia project, and will permit the development of important astrophysical projects. Thanks to the high altitude, the sky transparency and the exceptionally cold, dry and stable atmospheric conditions, the Antarctica Plateau, is indeed among the best places on the Earth, to perform observations of the sky, at the near infrared, mid infrared, submillimeter and millimetre wavelengths.
