In close cooperation with the Chilean Antarctic Institute (INACH), we carried out two expeditions (in March and October) at Escudero Station on King George Island (“Base Profesor Julio Escudero”, 62°12’S; 58°57’W) aimed at deploying our Transportable Antarctic Research Platform (TARP), and setting up a dual-band UV radiometer. The TARP deployment required shipping roughly 800 Kg of equipment and involved a team of 3 researchers closely supported by INACH personnel. The TARP is meant to support our ground-based measurements of the UV irradiance in the area.
