Almirante Brown Antarctic Base (64°51' S, 62°54' W) is an Argentine Antarctic base named after Admiral Guillermo Brown, the father of the Argentine Navy. The original station located in Paradise Bay was burned down in 1984. The base has been partially rebuilt, but is occupied only in the summer season.
