European countries with research station on Antarctica

by geo.facts_

Out of the 29 countries with stations in the Antarctic continent, 16 of them are located in Europe and out of these 16 countries, 9 of them have more than two stations! Germany🇩🇪, Russia🇷🇺 and the United Kingdom🇬🇧 all have 5 stations on the continent, some of them working only during summer while others are permanently open.

As mentioned, some stations work only during summer, while others work all year long - meaning that the population of performing scientists and researchers varies from approximately 4.000 people during summer and only 1.000 during winter times (June to August).

Apart from that, there are several stations that don’t belong to any country, in other words, it means that they receive scientists from all over the world!

Fun fact: The coldest temperature ever registered on earth was at the Antarctic continent. In July 21 of 1983, at the Russian Vostok station, the thermometers recorded a temperature of -82.2C° (-115F°)

There is a very particular undefinable vibe present in Antarctic Research Stations during the long winter that's absent from any other Earthly photo.

Great Duck Island Light, Frenchboro, Maine. Aptly named, Great Duck Island is estimated to support 20% percent of Maine's seabird population. Under the Maine Lights Program, the lighthouse and 12 surrounding acres are owned and manned by College of the Atlantic. The rest of the seabird-friendly island is owned by The Nature Conservancy in Maine

Halley VI Antarctic Research Station

honestly it probably already exists but i would kill for more horror stories set in the arctic circle during winter where it's unclear if the threat is supernatural or if the darkness and isolation in the freezing polar night is just driving the characters slowly insane

Old World Blues isn't my favorite dlc for the funny quippy dialogue or the added lore it's my favorite because I'm sexually attracted to the entirety of the Think Tank and I like it when they insult me

i still can’t believe they used the instrumental to cigarette daydreams for this mission like that was honest to god attempted murder by insomniac. the song, the nostalgia for the kids they were before emily and ben died and harry got sick, the warm autumn colors, the reunion patching together a pivotal part of peter’s life at a time he literally needs it most after getting fired from brooklyn visions. and in the scene before this, peter’s remembering may’s lesson about maintaining balance in his life then boom the return of one of the people who keep him rooted in life outside the mask when it’s so easy to breeze by it. first act of sm2 i love you.

Chicago-area Tesla charging stations lined with "dead" electric cars in freezing cold. 🤔

Mount Desert Rock Light, Frenchboro, Maine. Since the light's automation in the 70's, Mount Desert Rock has been used by The College of the Atlantic as a whale and marine mammal research outpost.

50% of the art is finished. Frankly, I'm about to go crazy. 3 days drawing the same art, it's funny. I want to look at the face of Leonardo Davinci, who painted the Mono Lisa for 4 years
