Would it be wrong to put this in the Outposts of Antarctica category? Diceman 14:23, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Outposts of Antarctica contains no explanatory text stating what the category is about. However, it seems to consist of a list of manned research stations in Antarctica, so the most obvious answer is no.
Having said that, Bird Island is in the list; though not in Antarctica as such, it is closer to Antarctica than South America, and is currently a Biological research station of the British Antarctic Survey. The Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) maintains a permanent base on the Macquarie Island; but it's part of Australia. So I guess it's marginal; bung it in, I reckon, and if someone objects they can take it out. — Johan the Ghost seance 14:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
