Antarctica, Argentina.- In photos taken on February 22, 2024, authorities of the Argentine Antarctic Institute commemorated 120 years of uninterrupted presence in Antarctica, with a strong commitment to science, technology and cooperation, which defines Argentina as a "bicontinental" country. On February 22, 1904, Argentina inaugurated the South Orcadas Observatory base, later called Orcadas, the first and for several decades the only permanent presence of humanity in Antarctica. Since April 1951, Argentine scientific research in Antarctica has been coordinated by the Argentine Antarctic Institute (IAA).
