Princess Elisabeth Station

Princess Elisabeth Station is a Belgian research facility in Antarctica. Located on Utsteinen Nunatak in Queen Maud Land, it opened 15 February 2009. It is named after Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant, the eldest daughter of King Philippe of Belgium.

Built and operated by the International Polar Foundation, it is the first polar base that combines eco-friendly construction materials, clean and efficient energy use, optimization of the station's energy consumption, and clever waste-management techniques.
