Base Marambio (WAP ARG-21) Happy 48th Anniversary

In 1969 the “Patrulla Soberania”, living in small tents, and with picks, shovels and much efforts,  managed to give shape to the first airstrip in an Argentinean Antarctic Base. Thus was born the Marambio Base: gateway of large aircraft to the white continent.

Patrulla Soberania was a group of military members of the Antarctic crew of the Argentine Air Force 1968/69 (Winter 1969) who founded the Marambio base on Seymour Island in Antarctica on October 29, 1969.
