- Antarctic Zhongshan Station
The Zhongshan Station (Sun Yat-Sen Station) is the second Chinese research station in Antarctica and was opened on February 26th, 1989. It is managed by the Polar Research Institute of China (PRIC). It is located at coord|69|22|44|S|76|22|40|E|, on Larsemann Hills in Prydz Bay in East Antarctica. It is only a few kilometers from the nearby Russian Progress II Station and the summer-only Australian Law Base.
The main logistic support is supplied by the annual visit of the Chinese Antarctic Support vessel Xue Long.
The station can accommodate 60 summering personnel and 25 wintering personnel. It is an ideal base for conducting research on marine, glaciological, geological, and atmospheric sciences and for supporting expeditions inland.
