Hidden amongst all the islands and little bays are a number of research stations, from a variety of nations. The British station, Port Lockroy, was established during WWII as a military outpost to keep German subs from threatening southern shipping. Closed for many years, it is now primarily a tourist stop, where visitors can see how staff members used to live, purchase souvenirs and even send postcards home from the classic red UK postbox. | ||
