Dome C, on the Antarctica plateau, may be the best site on Earth for astronomy, thanks to outstanding image quality and very pure and cold atmosphere. This is of particular interest for solar physics, namely for very high-resolution studies of the solar surface and for magnetometry of the innermost solar corona. Here we review Dome C unique atmospheric properties and present two projects aimed at quantitatively qualify this site for solar observations.
