Description


González Videla Antarctic Base

González Videla Base, on the Antarctic mainland's Waterboat Point in Paradise Bay, is named after Chilean President Gabriel González Videla, who in the 1940s became the first chief of state of any nation to visit Antarctica. The station was active from 1951–58, and was reopened briefly in the early 1980s. It works from December to April every year. Occasional summer visits are made by Chilean parties and tourists.
