Progress Station

Among the settlements of the Australian Antarctic Territory, Progress Station stands out as a Russian research base on the shore of Prydz Bay. Set amid the Larsemann Hills, a largely ice-free cluster of rocky peninsulas and islands along the Ingrid Christensen Coast, it occupies an exposed sector of East Antarctica. Established in 1988, Progress supports Russia’s Antarctic research programme and the demanding logistics needed for work in this remote coastal region. Low rock, glaciers, sea ice and wide horizons shape the surroundings, while the austral summer brings exceptionally long daylight.
