Notes
Note 1: Belgrano Original Belgrano Station opened 1955. Replaced by Belgrano II 1979. Note 2: Concordia Concordia Station opened Dec 1997 for summer-only operation. Opened for year-round operation Feb 2005. Note 3: SANAE Original SANAE Station opened 1962. SANAE IV opened 1997 at a new location, 200km South of SANAE I to III Note 4: Troll Troll Station opened Feb 1990 for summer-only operation. Opened for year-round operation Feb 2005. Note 5: Airfields Airfield information is extracted from the AFIM (except for Troll airfield that is not yet included in AFIM) published and maintained by COMNAP. See http://www.comnap.aq/afim The 'suitability' indicated (wheel; ski; or wheel and ski) corresponds to suitability of the airfield when all its runways are operational. Skiways are generally not maintained all year-round. In many cases they are prepared only when and as required by National Programs. Note 6: Refugio Ecuador Refugio Ecuador (full name Refugio Republic del Ecuador) was previously known as Vicente Note 7: Options for Facility Type Station: an established facility/installation with fixed, permanent buildings and mechanical services reticulated power, water and sewage, etc...; Camp: a more basic and less permanent facility/installation, such as a group of tents/ shelters, often used only for a small number of seasons; Refuge: usually a small and very basic facility/installation, sometimes only one small hut, but usually of a permanent nature; Depot: a depot of food, fuel or other supply. Note 8: Options for facility Current Status Year-round: opened all year round winter and summer; Seasonal: opened Seasonally only typically opened every summer or most summers; Temporarily Closed: closed temporarily and ready to be re-opened as and when required; Closed: closed indefinitely but at least part of the facility still exists and could be renovated and/or re-used; No Longer Exists: the facility no longer exists; Under Construction: under construction on-site construction work has commenced; Under Consideration: construction of the facility nis under consideration on-site construction work has not commenced.

Note 9: Population parameter definitions Nominal Capacity: the maximum number of persons the facility is designed for, and can accommodate 'comfortably'. As consistent with the number of beds and the size/capacity of catering, ablution and waste processing facilities, etc... Peak: the maximum number of persons present at the facility at any one time. This will typically be the number of persons present on site at the busiest time of the summer. This can be higher than the Nominal Capacity of the facility. Summer average: the average number of persons living in the facility over the summer period. Winter average: the average number of persons living in the facility over the winter period. Annual average: the average number of persons living in the facility over the entire year. This corresponds to the number of persons-day on station over the year, divided by 365 (or 366). Annual turnover: the total number of person movements into the facility over a 12 months period. Do not add in and out. One person coming in and going out once counts for 1 only, but the same person coming in and out twice during the year is counted twice. For simplicity, just calculate the number of movements 'in' by adding up the number of passengers on each ship or flight arrived at the station. Note 10: Typical Summer Dates Summer Start Date: Typical start date (day-month) of the summer season for the facility. For year-round facilities, this is the time of the first ship or aircraft arriving with passengers after the winter. Summer End Date: Typical end date (day-month) of the summer season for the facility. For year-round facilities, this is the time of the last ship or aircraft departing with passengers before the winter.
