The Chilean scientific Base, Gabriel Gonzalez Videla, is located at 64° 49′ 24″ South, 62° 51′ 7″ West on the Danco Coast at the north end of the “Antarctic” Peninsula. The Base is situated on two small islands: Lomnitz and Dott (approx. 18,000 square metres), The two islands are separated by a very narrow channel partly filled with morainal material. The northern island is named Isla “Lomnitz” and the southern island, Isla “Dott”. Between the islands and the mainland is a 90-metre channel, which is dry at low tide. This channel and the eastern shores of the islands are covered by till.
Isla Util, a small island in the Gerlache Strait, lies 7 miles north of the base.
Field work was done during the 1960-61 austral summer, and 70 
thin sections of the rocks collected were studied subsequently at the University of Wisconsin.
CE9AM was on the air from Pres.Gabriel Gonzalez Videla in 1959, CE9XX operated by Mehdi F5PFP was active from this site on february 2009

243 ; Ouest sur la côte Danco à l’extrémité nord de la péninsule ‘antarctique’. La Base est située sur deux petites îles : Lomnitz et Dott
(environ 18 000 mètres carrés), Les deux îles sont séparées par un chenal très étroit partiellement rempli de matériaux morainiques. L’île du nord s’appelle Isla ‘
Lomnitz’ et l’île du sud, Isla ‘Dott’. Entre les îles et le continent se trouve un chenal de 90 mètres, qui est sec à marée basse. Cette
chenal et les rives est des îles sont couvertes de till.Isla Util, une petite île
dans le détroit de Gerlache, se trouve à 7 milles au nord de la base.
Le travail de terrain a été effectué pendant l’été austral 1960-61, et 70

In 1987 Greenpeace established the ‘World Park Base’ in Antarctica which stayed until 1991
The main Bbase building was constructed in 1987 from prefabricated units, which were designed and manufactured by a German polar construction and engineering company. Between 1988 and 1990 several structures were added. Eventually, basebuildings consisted of an L-shaped main building and a small food storage and emergency building. The main building comprised an accommodation unit housing a common living area, four separate bedrooms, a bathroom, radio room, medical and science room, coat room and a room containing snow melting equipment. A cold porch was also attached. The engine room was housed in the same building, separated from theother facilities by a walkway. A lean-to was used for storage. The short side of the L-shaped building was formed by another unit joined to the main building by a walkway which housed a workshop, science lab, dark room and field equipment store. The latter unit, called the FOS hut, had been acquired from the Footsteps of Scott Expedition which had previously had a base at the site. 
The original base was designed to accommodate four persons. In later years, a workshop and laboratory building and two more bedrooms were prefabricated and added to the original structure as it became apparent that extra space was needed for the wintering teams. These additions were simple to construct andinstall, with minimum excavation necessary. Also installed on the base was amateur radio equipment for contact with Ham radio enthusiasts worldwide, and a Uosat satellite link that was part of a scientific project run in conjunction with the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom.
