Law-Racovita-Negoita Station

Antarctica

The Law-Racoviță-Negoiță Station is a Romanian research and exploration station located in Antarctica. It was inaugurated on January 13, 2006, at the site of an existing facility constructed in 1986 by Australia and subsequently donated to Romania. The station was named in honor of the Romanian explorer Emil Racoviță.

Situated in Princess Elizabeth Land within the Larsemann Hills, the station is located approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from China's Antarctic Zhongshan Station. While it was known as the Law-Racoviță Station for several years, its name was updated to include Negoiță in 2011.
