The publication of details of these facilities does not imply any right of use. The facilities are established and maintained by National Antarctic Programs strictly for their own use they are not designed or provided for use by others. Prior agreement must be obtained to use facilities maintained by another operator. In particular, requests for access to airfields must comply with the procedures for coordination, approval and information described in the Antarctic Flight Information Manual published by COMNAP. For more information, contact the COMNAP Secretariat (www.comnap.aq). Furthermore, the relevant legal instruments and authorisation procedures adopted by the states party to the Antarctic Treaty regulating access to the Antarctic Treaty Area, that is to all areas between 60° and 90° of latitude South, have to be complied with.

Maritime and aeronautical search and rescue systems and procedures are based worldwide around the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) global search and rescue plans which divide the globe into Search and Rescue Regions (SRRs). The Antarctic region is covered by 5 maritime and 5 aeronautical SRRs. The limits of the 5 aeronautical SRRs are roughly similar to the limits of the 5 maritime SRRs - except that maritime SRRs stop at the Antarctic coast while aeronautical SRRs continue all the way to the South geographic pole. Each Maritime RCC (MRCC) shown on the map is responsible for the coordination of maritime Search and Rescue in the maritime SRR in which its name appears. The adjoining Aeronautical RCC (ARCC) is responsible for the coordination of aeronautical Search and Rescue in the corresponding aeronautical SRR. (1) In both Australia and New Zealand, a single joint RCC combines the functions of MRCC and ARCC. (2) The maritime RCCs in Argentina and Chile work collaboratively to cover this region around the Antarctic Peninsula - the area with the most traffic.

(1) Original Belgrano Station opened 1955. Replaced by Belgrano II 1979. (2) Concordia Station opened December 1997 for summer-only operation. Opened for year-round operation February 2005. (3) Original SANAE Station opened 1962. SANAE IV opened 1997 at a new location, 200km South of SANAE I to III. (4) Troll Station opened February 1990 for summer-only operation. Opened for year-round operation February 2005. (5) Airfield information is extracted from the AFIM (except for Troll airfield that is not yet included in AFIM) published and maintained by COMNAP. See http://www.comnap.aq/afim. The 'suitability' indicated (wheel; ski; or wheel and ski) corresponds to suitability of the airfield when all its runways are operational. Skiways are generally not maintained all year-round. In many cases they are prepared only when and as required by National Programs. (6) Refugio Ecuador (full name “Refugio Republic del Ecuador”) was previously known as “Vicente”. (7) Options for Facility Type are: ● Station: an established installation with fixed buildings and mechanical services – reticulated power, water and sewage, etc...; ● Camp: a more basic and less permanent installation, such as a group of tents/ shelters, often used only for a small number of seasons; ● Refuge: usually a small and very basic installation, sometimes only one small hut, but usually of a permanent nature; ● Depot: a depot of food, fuel or other supply. (8) Options for Facility Current Status are: ● Year-round: opened all year round – winter and summer; ● Seasonal: opened Seasonally only – typically opened every summer or most summers; ● Temporarily Closed: closed temporarily and ready to be re-opened as and when required; ● Closed: closed indefinitely – but at least part of the facility still exists and could be renovated and/or re-used; ● No Longer Exists: the facility no longer exists; ● Under Construction: under construction – work has commenced; ● Under Consideration: construction planned but no construction has commenced. (9) Population parameter definitions are: ● Nominal Capacity: the maximum number of persons the facility is designed for, and can accommodate 'comfortably'. As consistent with the number of beds and the size/capacity of catering, ablution and waste processing facilities, etc... ● Peak: the maximum number of persons present at the facility at any one time. This will typically be the number of persons present on site at the busiest time of the summer. This can be higher than the Nominal Capacity of the facility. ● Winter average: the average number of persons living in the facility over the winter period. (10) Typical Summer Dates are: ● Summer Start: Typical start date (day-month) of the summer season for the facility. For year-round facilities, this is the time of the first ship or aircraft arriving with passengers after the winter. ● Summer End: Typical end date (day-month) of the summer season for the facility. For year-round facilities, this is the time of the last ship or aircraft departing with passengers before the winter.
