Deception Station (Spanish: Base Decepción) is an Argentine antarctic base located at Deception Island, South Shetland Islands.
Initially, it operated year-round, serving as a hub for scientific research and exploration.
However, in December 1967, violent volcanic eruptions forced the evacuation of the base.
Gabriel de Castilla Base, a Spanish research station, was constructed on Deception Island in the late 1980s.
Deception Island has also been home to scientific stations run by Argentina, Chile, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
