It is located on Sanavirón Peninsula along Paradise Harbor, Danco Coast, in Graham Land, Antarctic Peninsula. Brown is one of 13 research bases in Antarctica operated by Argentina. From 1951 to 1984 it served as a permanent base; since then it is open during the summer season only. ==History== Brown Station dates to 6 April 1951, when Argentina established the ''Almirante Brown'' Naval Detachment at Paradise Harbor.〔 In January 1956, the Argentine Navy inaugurated the ''Refugio Naval Conscripto Ortiz'' ("''Conscripto Ortiz'' Naval Refuge"). The detachment worked as a meteorological observatory and as a base for Antarctic campaigns until it was temporarily closed in 1960.〔 The Argentine Antarctic Institute took over the station in 1964–65, creating one of the most complete biology laboratories on the Antarctic Peninsula.〔 It included a main house of ; two folding fuel tanks; and an additional building exclusive for scientific research, equipped with three labs, photography workshop, emergency radio station, office and library.〔 It was called ''Almirante Brown'' Research Station and inaugurated on 17 February 1965.〔 Brown Station's original facilities were burned down by the station's doctor on 12 April 1984.() Station personnel was rescued by the ship USS ''Hero'' and taken to United States’s Palmer Station. Argentina rebuilt the base but it was demoted to summer-only status. During the summer campaign of 1995–96 the Logistics Department of the Argentine National Antarctic Directorate built two new habitable modules: a laboratory and a house with amenities. In the 1999–2000 campaign the Directorate built a new main house capable of comfortably accommodating 8 people; the new building consists of 4 bedrooms, kitchen and 2 bathrooms.〔 Brown slipped into several years of inactivity during the 2000s decade but since 2007 is occupied during the summer again.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brown Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
