Andersen Harbor

Welcome to a historic site, sailors! Andersen Harbor, home to Wordie House, a British research hut built in 1944, offers a glimpse into the early days of Antarctic exploration. Explore the hut with a permit, imagining the lives of the researchers who braved the harsh conditions. The surrounding landscape is equally captivating, with glaciers, icebergs, and potentially penguin colonies.  Similar to Melchior Harbor, shopping options are scarce, and meals are most likely served on expedition ships.  Enjoy a hearty dinner after your explorations, and unwind under the magnificent night sky, free from light pollution.
