    Abstract

    Ground-based experiments in Antarctica exploring cosmic background-radiation (CBR) anisotropies at intermediate angular scales and millimeter wavelengths are discussed. The spectra of the Magellanic Clouds is analyzed, and the determination of sky fluctuations is addressed. Focus is placed on the detection of thermal emission from a very cold component of the interstellar material both in the galaxy and Magellanic Clouds. Estimated total dust column densities are found to be an order of magnitude greater than those previously found, while statistical sky fluctuations are estimated at a level of less than 0.0002.
