Troll combines a permanent Norwegian research presence with an exceptionally remote Antarctic setting, reflecting its inland position in Queen Maud Land. The station stands in the Jutulsessen mountains, on exposed rock about 1,270 metres above sea level and roughly 235 kilometres from the coast. Norway established Troll in 1990, and it became a year-round station in 2005. Research here supports studies of the atmosphere, climate and environment, while the nearby blue-ice Troll Airfield provides an important logistical link during the austral summer.
