Today marks 122 years of uninterrupted Argentinean presence in Antarctica. On February 22, 1904, Argentina began its institutional Antarctic presence by taking charge of the meteorological observatory on Laurie Island, in the South Orkney Islands.
Last February 2003, WAP (Worldwide Antarctic Program) did launch an Antarctica Activity Week (AAW), addressed to the Hams worldwide, to be celebrated every year on last week of February, which should incorporate the 22nd of February, where Argentines celebrate the “Dia De La Antartida Argentina” (Argentine’s Antarctica Day).
.
Since then, several Special Event Stations (SES) from different Nations in the world, join the venture every years.
