PROGRAM
National Antarctic Directorate / Argentine Antarctic Program
The Foreign Ministry directory lists 13 stations and still shows 6 as year-round and 7 as seasonal; other recent official communications describe Petrel as operating year-round. RADAR keeps both references visible and marks Petrel’s official classification as being updated. Logistics are coordinated with the Joint Antarctic Command.
