Borga Base was a semipermanent Antarctic research station operated by South Africa named after Borg Massif where it was located. It was created to house 4-5 people year-round and was 350 kilometers (220 miles) south of the location of South Africa's primary Antarctic research station, SANAE IV.[1] Its main building was a Parcoll hut, a long hut with a semicircular frame resembling half a cylinder.[2]
