February 22nd, is a very important day for Argentina. It was the 22 Febr. 1904 when the Argentine Flag did flutter on Laurie Island of the South Orkney Islands group, when Orcadas Base was inaugurated.
Since then, every year Argentina’s Antarctic Day is commemorated in the whole State. 114 years of uninterrupted presence (1904-2018) of this Country in Antarctica, is a reality.
WAP is joining the event and since 2004 when the 1st Antarctic Activity Week was launched, we always recall and give tributes to the Explorers who marked the Antarctic epic.
