Webcams at Neumayer-Station

Panoramic

Neumayer Station is a permanent German Antarctic research base. It is located on Atka Bay and was opened in 1992. This station in the Antarctic was established in 1981 on the Ekström Shelf Ice as a research observatory for geophysical, meteorological and air chemistry measurements, as well as a logistics base for summer expeditions.
Georg von Neumayer, whom the station is named after, was an important promoter of Germany’s research activities in Antarctica. The snow-covered Neumayer Station is located on shelf ice that is 650′ (200m) thick and almost completely flat. All that can be seen from the distance are the towers of the station entrance, which project 6-7′ over the snow.
Nine or at most ten people live and work at Neumayer Station during the Antarctic winter: a medical doctor who also acts as the head of the station, a meteorologist, an airchemist, two geophysicists, an engineer, an electrician, a radio operator/electronics engineer and a cook.
