Eights Station was an Antarctic permanent exploration base from January 1963 to November 1965,[2] located on Ellsworth Land[3] about 1100 km from Byrd Station and 2400 km from McMurdo Station.

[4] The station consisted of 11 prefabricated buildings that were brought in via planes[5] and located on the site of the former "Sky-Hi" airlift project temporary scientific camp.

[6] The station was named for James Eights who was the first American Naturalist who visited Antarctica at the beginning of the 19th Century.

The station was initially supported by 6 scientists and 5 Armed Forces attendants[4] and included observations on meteorology, the ionosphere, geomagnetism, and aurora[7] and radio waves.

[8][9] At its peak, Eights Station hosted 27 personnel,[2] including individuals from the U.S. Antarctic Research Program Summer Party.
