Signy Research Station (originally Station H) [2] is an Antarctic research base on Signy Island, run by the British Antarctic Survey.

Signy Research Station provides UK scientists with significant opportunities to study penguin, seabird and seal biology, limnology and terrestrial biology related to the southern ocean ecosystems and climate change.

On Signy Island, the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) maintains the Signy Research Station, a scientific station for research in biology. The base was opened on 18 March 1947, on the site of an earlier whaling station that had existed there in the 1920s. The station was staffed year-round until 1996; since that year it has been occupied only from ...

The United States maintains the southernmost base, Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, and the largest base and research station in Antarctica, McMurdo Station. The second-southernmost base is the Chinese Kunlun Station at 80°25′2″S during the summer season, and the Russian Vostok Station at 78°27′50″S during the winter season.

2024年12月4日 · Signy Research Station is one of our smallest stations, and only has people living there during the Antarctic summer which is between October and April. Signy is one of the remote South Orkney Islands – 600km away from the Antarctic Peninsula (almost as far as London to Edinburgh in the UK).

There has been a British presence on Signy Island (South Orkney Islands) since 1947, when the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) established Base H in Factory Cove. FIDS transformed into British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the Signy research station continued as a wintering base undertaking year-round long term biological research until ...
