The facility is positioned deep inland, approximately 1,100 kilometers from the French Dumont D'Urville station and Australia's Casey Station, and 1,200 kilometers from the Italian Zucchelli Station. It is located within the Australian Antarctic Territory, roughly 560 kilometers from Russia's Vostok Station and 1,670 kilometers from the Geographic South Pole.
