The Greek Sector of Antarctica

 

One of the lesser known research stations on Antarctica is The Spartan Station in the Greek Zone. 

The story of why Greece has a small patch of the southernmost continent is strange enough, but even more incredible is the frosty dome that covers the 23 squ km Greek Zone, which allows the use of geothermal heating to create a microclimate biome, as shown here.

At some later date, I shall reveal more of this magical area.

Bonus - Weather Station Kurt  was an automatic weather station, erected by a German U-boat crew in northern Labrador, Dominion of Newfoundland (nowadays in Canada) in October 1943.
