Summit Camp

Summit Camp operates at an elevation of 3207 meters above sea level on the Greenland Ice Sheet, maintaining continuous scientific observations throughout the year.

The research station was established to conduct extensive studies of ice cores, providing crucial data about Earth's climate patterns over thousands of years.

Scientists from multiple nations work together at Summit Camp, creating an international research community dedicated to understanding climate changes.

Access to Summit Camp requires specialized aircraft transportation, as the facility remains isolated on the ice sheet throughout the entire year.

The location experiences complete darkness during winter months and perpetual daylight in summer, affecting the timing of research activities.
