'''Davis Station''', commonly called '''Davis''', is one of three permanent bases and research outposts in [[Antarctica]] managed by the [[Australian Antarctic Division]] (AAD). Davis is situated on the coast of [[Cooperation Sea]] in [[Princess Elizabeth Land]], [[Ingrid Christensen Coast]] in the [[Australian Antarctic Territory]], a [[States and territories of Australia|territory]] claimed by [[Australia]]. Davis lies in an [[Antarctic oasis]], a mostly ice-free area known as the [[Vestfold Hills]].

Davis was named in honour of Captain [[John King Davis]].<ref name=AADHistory>{{cite web |url=http://www.antarctica.gov.au/about-antarctica/history/stations/davis |title=Davis station: a brief history |work=History of Australian Antarctic stations |publisher=[[Australian Antarctic Division]] |date=17 June 2002 |access-date=8 July 2016 }}</ref><ref>''Australian Philatelic Bulletin'', Vol. 16, p. 28</ref>

Davis was listed on the [[Register of the National Estate]] on 26 October 1999 and has been included on the [[Commonwealth Heritage List]] as an indicative place, due to the condition of buildings and structures that varies from no longer exists/demolished due to poor condition, through to very good condition.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.environment.gov.au/node/22344 |title=Indicator: AATH-07 Condition of scientific research stations - survey of Davis Station |work=[[Department of the Environment (Australia)|Department of the Environment]] |publisher=Australian Government |date=2006 |access-date=8 July 2016}}</ref>

==Purpose==
Davis is a base for scientific research programs including the study of viruses and bacteria using molecular genetic techniques in [[glacial lake]]s, the impact of environmental change and pollution on Antarctic marine ecosystems, atmospheric research, measuring algae growth as an important food source for tiny marine herbivores such as zooplankton, the impact of [[climate change]], including the increasing carbon dioxide concentrations on marine microbes and, together with researchers at [[Casey Station|Casey]], the study of the [[Law Dome]], the bedrock geology and structure of the East Antarctic ice sheet.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.antarctica.gov.au/living-and-working/stations/davis/science |title=Davis science |publisher=[[Australian Antarctic Division]] |date=17 August 2006 |access-date=8 July 2016 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.entegra.com.au/swan-hills-antartic-shed-challenge/| title= Industrial Buildings | date= 16 January 2017 }} Thursday, 27 September 2018</ref>

==History==
The first recorded sighting of the coastline now occupied by Davis Station was on 9 February 1931, during the second [[British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition]] (BANZARE) voyage aboard ''Discovery''. Sir [[Douglas Mawson]] and Flight Lieutenant [[Stuart Campbell (explorer)|Stuart Campbell]] sighted the Antarctic continent from a seaplane and named the high land to the southeast Princess Elizabeth Land.<ref name=AADHistory/>

The first recorded landing in the region was made in 1935 by the [[Norway|Norwegian]] whaler Captain Klarius Mikkelsen in the vessel ''Thorshavn''. Mikkelsen named the hills after the Vestfold province of [[Norway]], on the western side of Oslo Fjord, which he considered it resembled, and where the Christensen company's headquarters was located, at the town of Sandefjord.<ref name=AADHistory/>

On 20 February 1935, together with his wife and seven crew members (including the ship's dentist, Lief Sørsdal), Mikkelsen landed in a small bay on an unnamed island at the northern end of the Vestfold Hills. Mrs [[Caroline Mikkelsen]] was the first woman to set foot on the Antarctic continent and the party raised the Norwegian flag on an improvised flagpole and built a rock cairn to mark the site. This cairn was found by members of the [[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]] (ANARE) in 1960 but was lost for many years until its rediscovery in 1995. (As an interesting aside, Caroline Mikkelsen was still living and received word of the rediscovery of the original flagpole.) Captain Mikkelsen named the area "Ingrid Christensen Land" after the wife of the ship's owner, [[Lars Christensen]]. Mrs Christensen was later to land in Antarctica herself - on 30 January 1937, at [[Scullin Monolith]] (which the Norwegians called Klarius Mikkelsen Mountain).

The ''Thorshavn'' and Klarius Mikkelsen, along with Lars Christensen, were back in the Vestfold Hills area in the 1936–37 summer. An area to the immediate north of the Vestfold Hills was used as a take-off and landing area for a seaplane, from which oblique aerial photos were taken for mapping purposes. The first map of the Vestfold Hills, derived from this imagery, was published after [[World War II]].<ref name=AADHistory/>

The next recorded visitors to the area were the [[United States|American]] explorer [[Lincoln Ellsworth]] and his Australian aircraft pilot and observer Sir [[Hubert Wilkins]], in Ellsworth's ship ''Wyatt Earp''. Despite Wilkins' protestations that Mawson had already claimed the area for Australia, Ellsworth planned to lodge a counter claim for America. In response to this, Wilkins took pre-emptive action and made two landings. The first was on one of the [[Rauer Islands]], at 68° 46' South, 77° 50' East on 8 January 1939, and the second on a rocky outcrop at 68° 22' South 70° 33' East on 11 January 1939. At both of these locations he deposited decrees recognising Australia's right to ". . . administrate . . . those parts of His Majesty's dominions in the Antarctic Seas". Along with the decree he left a copy of the famous Australian geographical magazine ''[[Walkabout (magazine)|Walkabout]]''. Of three such sites, only the northern cairn has been located and hence the name "Walkabout Rocks".<ref name=AADHistory/>

During the U.S. Antarctic explorations that formed a part of "[[Operation Highjump]]" in 1947, [[USS Currituck (AV-7)|USS ''Currituck'']] visited the area, but no landing took place. As part of Operation Highjump, the Vestfolds and surrounding area were extensively photographed from the air.<ref name=AADHistory/>

The first [[ANARE]] landing in the Vestfold Hills was made on 3 March 1954 by [[Phillip Law]], Peter Shaw, John Hansen, [[Arthur Montagu Gwynn|Arthur Gwynn]] and R. Thompson. They raised the Australian flag at Law Cairn, to the north of Davis Station, but had to return to their ship soon after due to deteriorating weather.<ref name=AADHistory/>

On 12 January 1956, members of the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] Antarctic Expedition landed on the Ingrid Christensen Coast, in preparation for the [[International Geophysical Year]] (1957–58). The Soviets did not stay for long but even today the Russian presence is betrayed by some distinctively Russian names on the map (Lakes Lebed, Zvezda and Druzhby among them) They later established their base at [[Mirny Station]], some {{convert|350|km}} to the east of Davis.<ref name=AADHistory/>

As Phillip Law recalled during a short visit to Davis on 11 January 1998, it was felt that if Australia did not establish a base in the Vestfold Hills the Russians would, and so in 1955 the Australian Government announced that a new station would be established in the Vestfold Hills.<ref name=AADHistory/>

A further exploratory visit was made by ANARE in January 1955 that involved two teams traversing much of the Vestfold Hills. During January 1957, an ANARE party led by Dr Phillip Law sailing on the ''Kista Dan'' attempted to locate a suitable site for the station. This proved difficult due to a lack of good ship anchorages and a scarcity of fresh water sources. On 12 January, after two days of attempting to find a suitable site, a last-minute decision was made to locate the station on a small rocky plateau located above a black sandy beach. Unloading began immediately and, on 13 January 1957, a small ceremony was held to officially open the new station. It was named Davis "to honour Captain [[John King Davis]], a famous Antarctic navigator and captain . . . at present . . . living in Melbourne, a member of the ANARE Planning Committee". (Law's address on the day). After the ceremony, unloading recommenced and continued until 20 January when ''Kista Dan'' sailed. ''Kista Dan'' made a return visit to Davis later dropping off dogs and one more expeditioner.<ref name=AADHistory/>

Bob Dingle, Alan Hawker, Nils Lied, Bill Lucas and Bruce Stinear made up the first party to winter in the Vestfold Hills. The party was not completely isolated however as [[Auster Aircraft|Auster]] aircraft flew between [[Mawson Station]] and Davis several times that year exchanging personnel and supplies.<ref name=AADHistory/>

Davis was temporarily closed on 25 January 1965 to make resources available for the rebuilding of [[Casey Station]]. It was reopened on 15 February 1969 and has been continuously occupied since that time. The original small huts ("dongas") fell into disuse and disrepair from the late 1970s / early 1980s, with a major rebuilding program.<ref name=AADHistory/>

Davis has become the busiest of Australia's Antarctic stations supporting a wide variety of scientific research in both the local and surrounding areas during the summertime. During the wintertime, the principal research activity is Upper Atmospheric Physics.

==Logistics==
Davis is {{cvt|4838|km|mi}} from [[Hobart]], the AAD's main supply hub for Antarctic operations, and {{cvt|4716|km|mi}} from [[Fremantle]].<ref>[https://www.antarctica.gov.au/antarctic-operations/stations/  Stations], Australian Antarctic Division. Retrieved 28 January 2023.</ref>

===Air transport===
In early summer when sea ice conditions are most favourable, a ski landing area (SLA) is constructed adjacent to Davis. As sea ice conditions progressively worsen over summer, operations are moved first to the Plough Island SLA, 6 km north of Davis,<ref>{{cite web |title=Intracontinental ski landing area locations |url=https://www.antarctica.gov.au/antarctic-operations/travel-and-logistics/aviation/intracontinental-operations/ski-landing-area-locations/ |publisher=Australian Antarctic Program |access-date=14 November 2023 |date=26 May 2015}}</ref> and in late summer to Whoop Whoop,<ref>[http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDT60803/IDT60803.89570.shtml Latest Weather Observations for Whoop Whoop] Australian Government, [[Bureau of Meteorology]].

==Earth station==
Davis is the first Antarctic [[Earth stations in Australia]], with the first satellite tracking antenna [[ANARESAT]] for communications installed in March 1987.<ref>{{cite web|title=Australian Antarctic Magazine Issue - 2|url=http://www.antarctica.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/111371/aam-issue02.pdf|website=www.antartica.gov.au|publisher=Australian Antarctic Division|access-date=26 April 2017|date=1 September 2001|quote=A team of eight OTC engineers, technicians and riggers installed and commissioned the first satellite earth station at Davis in March 1987.|archive-date=10 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190810135914/http://www.antarctica.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/111371/aam-issue02.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> There is also a [[Bureau of Meteorology]] satellite tracking station for a weather satellite, [[Himawari (satellite)|Himawari-8]] located there.<ref name="BoM">{{cite web|title=About environmental satellites|url=http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/satellite/about_satellites.shtml|website=www.bom.gov.au|publisher=Bureau of Meteorology|access-date=26 April 2017|language=en|quote=In order to access this meteorological data the Bureau of Meteorology has high bandwidth internet, as well as satellite data reception sites at Melbourne, Darwin and Perth, as well as Casey and Davis stations in Antarctica.}}</ref>

After numerous upgrades since installation, the ANARESAT facility is able to provide the station with a 9&nbsp;Mbps link back to the mainland. This allows for the real time transfer of scientific data as well as support for telemedicine and video calls for expeditioners.

==Climate==
Davis Station experiences a [[tundra climate]] (Köppen ''ET''); the temperature is moderated by its proximity to the [[Southern Ocean]].
