Porto Lacroix is an important port in Antarctica. It is the residence of the British Antarctic Research Team. There is a two-story research building with complete facilities and guest rooms for tourists, which are very clean and tidy. The scenery here is also very beautiful. There is a big pool where you can enjoy the gorgeous polar sea view and admire the magnificence of nature.
The earliest British scientific research station was established at Port Lacroix on Port Lockroy and it was also the place where the British monitored ship routes during World War II.
There is a small post office on the island, but a series of facilities were abandoned after 1962. In 1996, a sum of money was invested to renovate this small post office at the southern end and reopen it. Visitors can buy some postcards in the post office, and the post office also provides stamping services. The abandoned base has become a museum for everyone to understand the status of life and research here.

Antarctica is a pure land that has not yet been occupied by humans. The pure air, white ice and snow, and lovely creatures are all the same as before the arrival of humans. There are groups of penguins around Porto Lacroix, which is spectacular. It is because of their existence that our trip to Antarctica has more fun and topics. It is only open for a few months in summer. There are traces of human habitation in Porto Lacroix. It is the messenger of Antarctica.
Porto Lacroix was a British base during World War II and was converted into a museum in 1996. It is the most famous attraction in Antarctica, with crystal blue icebergs, large groups of penguins and groups of seals. We are not allowed to approach penguins or seals, and we must keep a distance of at least 5 meters. But these penguins actually staggered to my side.
Porto Lacroix is another seaport on George Island, and it is also the base of the British scientific expedition team. There is little snow on the island, and it is mostly rocky. The British scientific research station has complete facilities and equipment, and there is also a retail store. I bought some souvenirs from the Antarctic expedition, which are quite good. It is worth coming in to take a walk and take a break.
There are thousands of pairs of Gentoo penguins here. It was snowing heavily when we landed. The snow glowed light blue and was very comfortable to walk on. We visited the Daruma Hut. We saw many Antarctic skuas during the cruise. A seal circled around our boat, which was very cute.
Port Lacroix is an important transit station for Antarctic polar tourism. There is an abandoned British Antarctic research base on the island, which has now been converted into a rest hotel with base equipment and supplies for replenishment. In addition, there are many polar souvenirs for sale, which is worth a look.
