Abstract
The next generation 2-μm sky survey should target nascent galaxies in the epoch of reionization for spectroscopic followup on large telescopes. A 2.5-m telescope at a site on the Antarctic plateau has advantages for this purpose and for southern hemisphere infrared surveys in general.
Keywords: infrared: general — galaxies: high redshift — telescopes
