Research station

Research station

A research station is a station built for the purpose of conducting research on a given site, or aspects of the site. These sites might include outer space (such as the International Space Station) and oceans. Many nations have research stations in Antarctica; Showa Station, Halley and Troll are examples. Research stations in Antarctica are good for astronomical research, as it is the darkest place in the world. It is also a good place to research as it has no borders.
