Neumayer Station III, also known as Neumayer III after geophysicist Georg von Neumayer, is a German Antarctic research station of the Alfred-Wegener-Institut (AWI). It is located on the approximately 200 metres (660 ft) thick Ekström Ice Shelf several kilometres south of Neumayer Station II . [ 3 ]
Neumayer Station III is located at , about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) away from the previous station, Neumayer II which is now abandoned and covered by a thick ice The new station ( Webcam ) is a futuristic-looking combined platform above the snow surface offering space for research, operations, and living since 2009.
The station became increasingly deformed by snow and ice movements after 2007 and was therefore uninhabitable. On February 20, 2009, it was handed over to South Africa and replaced by the new permanent research base Neumayer Station III. At the time, the station was moving with the shelf ice at about 200 meters per year towards the open sea.
The German Neumayer Station III, finished in 2009, succeeded two former stations that were buried by snow and ice. [9] It conducts geophysical, meteorological and seismological research, as well as air chemistry measurements and atmospheric ozone monitoring. [10] Germany's other station, Kohnen, was opened as part of a major ice-drilling ...
This year-round manned station is totally covered with ice and snow (buried 10 meters under the surface) and is situated in the Weddell-Sea area (08 15W, 70 35S). The successor was the Neumayer Station II which was then abandoned itself. The only station in use now is the Neumayer Station III. Research topics are permanent observations of the ...
