    Base Brown

    November 30 in Antarctica ⋅ ☁️ -4 °C

    Brown Station (or more often Base Brown or Estación Brown) is an Argentine Antarctic base and scientific research station named after Admiral William Brown, the father of the Argentine Navy. It is located on Sanavirón Peninsula along Paradise Harbor, Danco Coast, in Graham Land, Antarctic Peninsula. We could not look inside the buildings but we could climb up a very steep hill for some spectacular views. Very cold on the Special Ops boats as went so fast!Read more
