Drescher Ice Camp

Drescher Ice Camp can refer to a decommissioned permanent research station in the Drescher Inlet on the Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf as well as any subsequent mobile research stations located at the same site.

The ice camp, and the inlet where it is located, are named after Alfred Wegener Institute biologist Eberhard Drescher.

[1] Drescher Ice Camp has been the location of six research campaigns, the most recent of which was in the austral summer of 2015-2016.

[1] Recent research campaigns have used mobile facilities consisting primarily of pre-fabricated round structures often referred to as "apples".

[1] The main research activities at Drescher Ice Camp are concerned with the eating habits and diving behaviors of Weddell seals and emperor penguins.
