Palmer Station

Palmer Station occupies Gamage Point on Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago, off the western Antarctic Peninsula. The United States research station stands beside Arthur Harbour, amid islands, ice-bound channels and the cold waters of the Southern Ocean. Established in 1968, it is one of the three year-round stations operated by the U.S. Antarctic Program. Its scientific work is strongly associated with marine ecology and the rapidly changing Antarctic coastal environment, where seabirds, seals and penguins are part of the wider ecosystem.
