At the time of its inauguration in 1954 it became Argentina's southernmost permanent base. It was shut down in 1980 over safety concerns due to it being built on increasingly unstable ice, which endangered both personnel and equipment.

The base also had a system of tunnels dug in the ice and further buried by the copious snowing: some of them were more than 10 m (33 ft) deep. These passages provided a safer means of walking across buildings without exposure to the exterior freezing temperatures and whipping winds; they
