Base Belgrano II is a year-round Argentine research station in Coats Land, Antarctica, roughly 1,300 kilometres from the South Pole; its landing site is a snow and ice strip with no buildings, cargo handling or customs services. There are no civil scheduled or freight flights, and the site carries no publicly used IATA or ICAO code. Resupply happens during the austral summer via the icebreaker ARA Almirante Irízar and Argentine Air Force flights out of Río Gallegos (RGL) and through the Marambio Antarctic base, so commercial air freight is simply not an option here.
