Punta Coronel Zelaya, Antarctic research station in South Georgia Island, South Atlantic Ocean.
The British Antarctic Survey manages a scientific facility at King Edward Point, situated at the entrance of Captain Vago Cove in Cumberland Bay.
In 1904, Argentina established its presence through the Compañía Argentina de Pesca and initiated a meteorological station in Grytviken the following year.
The peninsula carries two names: Punta Coronel Zelaya honors Argentine military figure Cornelio Zelaya, while King Edward Point commemorates the British monarch Edward VII.
The research station maintains continuous scientific operations, focusing on marine biology studies and fisheries monitoring in the South Atlantic waters.
The station's location, one kilometer from abandoned Grytviken whaling station, provides scientists direct access to study marine ecosystems and Antarctic environments.
