Stanisław Baranowski Spitsbergen Polar Station, Research station in Wedel Jarlsberg Land, Spitsbergen, Norway.
The station stands on a bedrock outcrop beneath the lateral moraine of the Werenskiold Glacier, 550 meters from Nottinghambukta coast.
Polish scientists initiated research activities in this region during the International Geophysical Year of 1957, leading to the station's establishment in 1971.
The Institute of Geography and Regional Development at the University of Wrocław operates this station, fostering international scientific cooperation in Arctic research.
The facility provides accommodation and storage spaces for research groups studying glaciology, climatology, geology, and ecology in the Arctic environment.
A 2.5-meter waterfall formed by the Brattegg stream flows through a small river gorge adjacent to the research station.
