Location

Refueling point on the Antarctic Plateau in between Mario Zucchelli Station and Dumont d'Urville. This facility is closed and it is planned to remove everything from this site. Experience has shown that in this area the sastrugi grow fast and large, for this reason it is not easy to keep operating a skiway here. This refueling point will be moved to Talos Dome.
