About Mawson Station
Mawson Station sits on a rocky outcrop beside Horseshoe Harbour in Mac. Robertson Land, East Antarctica, and has operated since 1954, making it Australia's oldest Antarctic station. Cold katabatic winds pour off the ice plateau behind it, so clear days can turn to blizzards very quickly. This Mawson Station webcam comes from the Australian Antarctic Program.

The official camera looks across the station buildings and fuel tanks to the ice beyond. The image refreshes through the day and is stamped with local Mawson time; the same page links a time-lapse video.
