Brown Station (Spanish: Estación Científica Almirante Brown, or more often Base Brown or Estación Brown) is an Argentine Antarctic base and scientific research station named after Admiral William Brown, the father of the Argentine Navy. It is located on Sanavirón Peninsula along Paradise Harbor, Danco Coast, in Graham Land, Antarctic Peninsula.
As of 2014[update] Brown is one of 13 research bases in Antarctica operated by Argentina.[2] From 1951 to 1984 it served as a permanent base; since then it is open during the summer season only.[3]
