Research stations in Antarctica

December 4th, 2007 by Eduardo Manchón

I always wondered how were research stations in Antarctica. I found some with good satellite images.

Rothera Station (UK)

Troll station (Norway)

Casey Station (Australia)

Marambio Island station (Argentina)

One of the best shots I have seen in Antarctica is this one made from the Belgrano station (Argentina)

After browsing a little bit I realized that Antarctica is more interesting than I expected. There are active volcanos like Mount Erebus with a permanent lava lake in the crater. I have found the Hurtigruta ship called Nordkapp that I was used to see in the port of Bergen (Norway). I also found the French-Italian Base Concordia and the Ucrainian base Vernadsky, where they even have a bar.

    I ran across your image of Lake Meredith in the Texas Panhandle on Google Earth, and thought “How odd that the single image of Lake Meredith would be from a Russian (sorry I am only going by the name… you might be Ukranian or some other nationality).

    I am envious of your worldly travels, and found it odd that of all the things in the Panhandle of Texas, the one item was Lake Meredith. How did you come to select that as your subject?
