Research station

A research station is a station built for the purpose of conducting scientific research on a given site, or aspects of the site. These sites might include outer space (such as the International Space Station) and oceans. Many nations have research stations in Antarctica; Showa Station, Halley and Troll are examples. Research stations in Antarctica are good for astronomical research, as it has the least amount of artificial light. It is also a good place to research as it has no governments or borders.
