Antarctica - The Great Wall Station

September 17, 2020

I was offered some amazing cards from Antarctica about the Chinese research stations there:  'Postmark cards in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of polar scientific exoeditions of China'.
The Great Wall Station was the first Chinese research station in Antarctica and opened on 20 February 1985. It lies on the Fildes Peninsula on King George Island, and is about 2.5 kilometres from the Chilean Frei Montalva Station, and 960 kilometres& from Cape Horn. The station is sited on ice-free rock, about 10 metres above sea level.

Thanks so much Zhang.
