From Jougla Point we were zodiac’ed over to Port Lockroy. Port Lockroy was established in February 1944 as part of the British secret mission operation Tabarin. The base was used for ionospheric research during the 1950s and closed in 1962. Restoration took place in 1996 and the base now turned into a tourist spot, showing tourists how Antarctic research looked like in the early days. The base staff today is still involved in environmental monitoring programs.
