Juan Carlos Primero Station

Just east of Hannah Point lies Spain’s Juan Carlos Primero station, a summer-only base, established in 1987–88 and accommodating up to 50 people. It has one of the few alternative-energy systems at an Antarctic station, using both solar power and wind generators, which can provide as much as 20% of the station’s needs.
