It is the largest community in on the Antarctic continent and is capable of supporting 1,258 inhabitants. It comprises of a functional, modern day science station with over 100 buildings, water installation facilities, dormitories, a power plant, a fire house, a helipad, a harbor and even three ice runways.  During summer the population of this station reaches up to 1000 personals, and falls to about 250 in the winter.
