    Work to fully reopen Argentina's Petrel Base in Antarctica goes on

    The Puerto Argentino has been named after the Argentine version of Port Stanley, capital of the British Overseas Territories of the Falkland Islands.

    Argentine Navy's ARA Puerto Argentino sloop has sucessfully unloaded supplies and machinery this week at the Petrel Base in Antarctica, it was reported. A self-propelled pontoon built entirely at the Tandanor–CINAR shipyard was used for the reconstruction of this base, which is returning to permanent service after nearly 50 years.
