Drescher Ice Camp can refer to a decommissioned permanent research station in the Drescher Inlet on the Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf as well as any subsequent mobile research stations located at the same site. The ice camp, and the inlet where it is located, are named after Alfred Wegener Institute biologist Eberhard Drescher.[1]
Drescher Ice Camp has been the location of six research campaigns, the most recent of which was in the austral summer of 2015-2016. Each campaign consists of at minimum four people and only occurs during the summer.[1]
