Zucchelli Station is an Italian research station located at Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica and named after Mario Zucchelli, late director of the Italian Antarctic Program. This facility is operated during the summer months (October - February) and hosts a variety of scientific projects. The Programma Nazionale di Ricerche in Antartide (National Program for Researches in Antarctica) works closely with the US Antarctic Program and Antarctica New Zealand.
Famous quotes containing the word station:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
