Pole of Inaccessibility research station

On 15 December 1965 a new American crew arrived by C-130 to make observations, refurbish the snowcats, and continue the Queen Maud Land Traverse, zig-zagging to the newly installed Plateau Station, where they arrived on 29 January 1966.

[6] On 19 January 2007, the British Team N2i reached the Pole of Inaccessibility using specially-designed foil kites.

[8] On 27 December 2011, during the Antarctica Legacy Crossing, Sebastian Copeland, and partner Eric McNair-Landry, reached the Pole of Inaccessibility by foot and kite ski from the Novolazarevskaya station, on their way to completing the first partial east–west transcontinental crossing of Antarctica of over 4,100 km (2,500 mi).

The station building is surmounted by a bust of Vladimir Lenin facing Moscow.

[8] Following a proposal by Russia to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, the buried building and emergent bust, along with a plaque commemorating the conquest of the Pole of Inaccessibility by Soviet Antarctic explorers in 1958, has been designated a Historic Site or Monument (HSM 4).
