List of research stations in the Arctic
A number of governments maintain permanent research stations in the Arctic. Also known as Arctic bases, Polar stations or Ice stations, these bases are widely distributed across the northern Polar region of the earth.
Historically few research stations have been permanent. Most of them were temporary, being abandoned after the completion of the project or owing to lack of funding to continue the research. Some of these facilities are constructed on land or on ice that rests on land, while others are drifting ice stations built on the sea ice of the high latitudes of the Arctic Ocean.[1]
