Casey Station Nationality: Australia
History: Casey station was established
in February, 1959, when Australia took overall responsibility for
the US Wilkes station, built in 1957 for the IGY and named for Lieutenant
Charles Wilkes, leader of the US Exploring Expedition. Ten years
later when its main building was covered over by snow, Australia replaced
Wilkes with Casey station, 2 mi (3k) to the south and across the bay
on Bailey Peninsula. In 1988 a replacement Casey Station was opened,
following the decommissioning of the old Casey Station. Web Cam: Website: Wildlife: |
