Rothera Research Station
Rothera Research Station is situated on the ice-covered Adelaide Island in Antarctica. It is located on Rothera Point, which bears its name and is regarded as the administrative center of the British Antarctic Territory. It was built in 1975 to take the place of the deteriorating Adelaide Station, which was in use from 1961 to 1977.
The Old Bransfield House, which has a number of communication rooms, meteorological equipment, and computer suites, remains the organization's main hub. Additionally, it houses the base's reverse osmosis plant, which supplies the base with the necessary freshwater.
The scientific center for terrestrial and marine biology at Rothera is the Bonner Lab, which has undergone two reconstructions.
A massive facility called Rothera may accommodate up to 100 scientists over the summer. Any of the Admiral House's 44 residential rooms frequently houses scientists and support personnel. It has toilet and shower facilities just like in a dorm or frat house. The New Bransfield House has spaces for staff amusement, including a TV room, a library, and a bar.
