Historic Stations

The earliest winter scientific station established in the Antarctic was in 1883 as part of the International Polar Year (IPY) of 1883. Subsequently, to the IPY of 2007-2009, scientific stations have been deployed on 139 sites (103 on the Antarctic continent, 36 on peri-Antarctic islands), by 24 countries for a cumulative total of 2666 winters to that of 2008.

NOTE: Points may appear outside of sensible locations (i.e. in the ocean) due to low lat/long coordinate precision in the original records.
