Riding back to PEA in a Toyota Hilux after spending some time at Perseus Airfield to prepare for the arrival of scientists in a few days!

Newly arrived scientists from the ULTIMO project, which will look for meteorites, plan their field campaigns with IPF's expert guides in the dining area at the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica.

Every IPF team member and visiting scientist must undergo mandatory medical field training to make sure they know how to handle emergency situations should they arise. Here they simulate taking an injured person to the station for medical treatment.

Our station doctor explains how to treat an injured patient in the new well-equipped surgery room at the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica station.

The Princess Elisabeth Antarctica is supported by hydraulic jacks which can be individually adjusted to ensure that the station stays level.
