The 2019 film Where'd You Go, Bernadette features the station prominently and includes scenes of its construction at the closing credits, although the actual station depicted in the film is ...
The Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station recorded its warmest average July temperature since 2002 at 6.3 °C (11.3 °F) above average, with an average temperature of −47.6 °C (−53.7 °F) from 20 to 30 July, meeting the average February Antarctic temperature at the typical end of summer.
The highest temperature ever recorded at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station was −12.3 °C (9.9 °F) on Christmas Day, 2011, [36] and the lowest was −82.8 °C (−117.0 °F) on 23 June 1982 [37] [38] [39] (for comparison, the lowest temperature directly recorded anywhere on earth was −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) at Vostok Station on 21 ...

The United States maintains the southernmost base, Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, and the largest base and research station in Antarctica, McMurdo Station. The second-southernmost base is the Chinese Kunlun Station at 80°25′2″S during the summer season, and the Russian Vostok Station at 78°27′50″S during the winter season.
The AMRC was founded as a link between the UW-Madison automatic weather station (AWS) project and the Man computer Interactive Data Access System project, also at UW-Madison. [1] The need for satellite imagery from geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites over the Antarctic led to the formation of the AMRC. Today, the AMRC continues to ...
China said its first atmospheric monitoring station in Antarctica started operations this week, a move aimed at helping observe changes on the southern continent and supporting the global response ...
The station was supplied from Mirny Station on the Antarctic coast. [5] The station normally hosts 30 scientists and engineers in the summer. In winter, their number drops to 15. [1] The only permanent research station located farther south is the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, operated by the United States at the geographic South Pole.
