The Carlini Station (formerly Jubany Station) is a permanent Argentine research station in the Antarctic ( King George Island , South Shetland Islands ). It is located on the Potter Peninsula in Potter Cove and is currently operated by the Argentine military. The first settlement was in 1953. The maximum population is 60 people, but under special circumstances it can be expanded to an emergency occupancy of up to 100 people. In winter, the crew is around 25 people, including a scientific hibernator. The remaining crew consists of technical and military personnel, whose task it is to keep the station in good condition and to enable scientific work. The station is one of eleven other scientific stations on King George Island, eight of which are permanent (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Korea, Poland, Russia, Uruguay) and three (Ecuador, Peru, USA) are only operated seasonally.
The station itself was built in 1982. The base consists of 15 buildings, 2 laboratories and has had a cinema since April 2005.
In 1994 the Alfred Wegener Institute opened the Dallmann laboratory in the direct vicinity of Jubany . The laboratory is not an independent station, but uses the logistics of the Argentines in a friendly research cooperation.
In March 2012, the Jubany station was renamed the Carlini station, after the Argentine Antarctic explorer Alejandro Ricardo Carlini.
