Eights Station was an Antarctic permanent exploration base from January 1963 to November 1965,[1] located on Ellsworth Land[2] about 1100 km from Byrd Station and 2400 km from McMurdo Station.[3] The station consisted of 11 prefabricated buildings that were brought in via planes[4] and located on the site of the former "Sky-Hi" airlift project temporary scientific camp.[5] The station was named for James Eights who was the first American Naturalist who visited Antarctica at the beginning of the 19th Century. The station was initially supported by 6 scientists and 5 Armed Forces attendants[3] and included observations on meteorology, the ionosphere, geomagnetism, and aurora[6] and radio waves.[7][8] At its peak, Eights Station hosted 27 personnel,[1] including individuals from the U.S. Antarctic Research Program Summer Party.[4]
