Abstract
Large single-dish telescopes and long baseline interferometers operati ng at mid-infrared to sub-millimeter wavelengths may provide the best opportunity to search for planets and protoplanets during the next sev eral decades. The interior of Antartica may be the best place to deplo y such instrumentation, providing a viable compromise between the cost s associated with space-based deployment and site quality.
