The Spanish Antarctic station Gabriel de Castilla was established in
the1989/90 campaign. It is located on the SW coast of Port Foster in
Deception Island. The base gives support to the scientific research in
the island and it is operated by the Spanish Army.
The station has different areas: living area, with accommodation for 14
people, scientific module, medical care module, engine room and
mechanical workshop, store and emergency module. During the 2000/2001
campaign the
base has been modernised,
specially the living and scientific areas. The modifications have not
increased the capacity of the station but have improved the scientific
capabilities and the environmental protection measures.
Thank you so much, Li Ming, for this fantastic surprise!
