Research at the station includes glaciology, geophysics, meteorology, upper atmosphere physics, astronomy, astrophysics, and biomedical studies. In recent years, most of the winter scientists have worked for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory or for low-frequency astronomy experiments such as the South Pole Telescope and BICEP2 .
In UFO conspiracy theories, "Hangar 18" is the name given to a building that allegedly contained UFO debris or alien bodies. The name was popularized by conspiracy theorist Robert Spencer Carr in 1974, who claimed the hangar was located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio; the USAF denies the existence of this hanger.
Halley Research Station is a research facility in Antarctica on the Brunt Ice Shelf operated by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). The base was established in 1956 to study the Earth's atmosphere . Measurements from Halley led to the discovery of the ozone hole in 1985. [ 3 ]
Artist conception of planned radiotelescope, 1959. The station was built by the Naval Research Laboratory in the early 1960s for a 600 ft (180 m) fully-steerable radio telescope [7] intended to gather intelligence on Soviet radar and radio signals reflected from the Moon and radioastronomical data from outer space, but the project was halted in 1962 before the telescope was completed.

Davis is a base for scientific research programs including the study of viruses and bacteria using molecular genetic techniques in glacial lakes, the impact of environmental change and pollution on Antarctic marine ecosystems, atmospheric research, measuring algae growth as an important food source for tiny marine herbivores such as zooplankton, the impact of climate change, including the ...
Sun photometers using low cost light-emitting diode (LED) detectors in place of optical interference filters and photodiodes have a relatively wide spectral response. They might be used by a globally distributed network of students and teachers to monitor atmospheric haze and aerosols , and can be calibrated using Langley extrapolation. [ 4 ]
McMurdo Station from above. McMurdo Station is an American Antarctic research station on the southern tip of Ross Island.It is operated by the United States through the United States Antarctic Program (USAP), a branch of the National Science Foundation.
