Description

AWIPEV Base was founded in 2003, when the Alfred Wegener Institute and the French Polar Institute Paul Emile Victor (IPEV) merged their previously separate stations, Koldewey and Rabot. Today AWIPEV Base offers living quarters and workrooms for many researchers. As the base’s primary focus is on fundamental research in the environmental sciences, its resources include laboratories for physical, biological and chemical experiments, since 2005, the marine laboratory operated by the Norwegian company Kings Bay has also been available for marine biological research.
