Davis Station

Davis Station is a research facility operated by Australia in Antarctica, located near the coast of Wilkes Land. Established in 1957, it serves as a base for scientific research, particularly in areas like climate change, glaciology, and biology. The station supports both permanent and seasonal staff who conduct various experiments and studies while living in harsh, icy conditions. It's a vital part of Australia’s Antarctic program, contributing to global scientific knowledge and cooperation in polar research. The station also aids in logistics and provides refuge for visiting researchers and support personnel.
