Whoa, there are so many more than I thought!
Way more than I thought and way more in the interior of the continent than I thought too. Honestly I assumed there were none.
ETA: …also, an actual link to the article
Yeah, sorry about the lack of an actual wiki link. I was up later than I should have been and sleep deprived when I posted.

I felt the same way. I always thought there were under 15 active stations nowadays. And of those, I figured there were only 5-6 that were active year long. Boy, was I surprised when I learned the true amount!
And some are still missing e.g. Mendel Polar Station

I wasn’t able to find any information indicating that this station was lost, missing, etc. on the Wikipedia link you shared. Have I overlooked something?
I mean it’s missing on the picture. The station is OK AFAIK.
If you’re at the south pole, how do you explain which direction you’re going? Everywhere is north.
During the polar day, you can identify the longitude (East-West direction) by the UTC and the position of the sun.
I never knew I needed the answer to this question.

Ugg, need to find a new neighborhood, this one is overcrowded and gentrified.
