After two
successive winterings at the Port-Martin station and the fire of
this one in 1952, a small base will be built on Petrels Island to a few hundreds meters only of
Emperor Penguins rookerie.
Seven people (4 envisaged
at the begining) will winter there in 1953 under the direction of Mario Marret.
Today,
this building restored by the 36th mission, is always present and
many are wintering them which made there some scrapers, evenings
melted pancakes and others, on the traces of Prévost, Marret and the
others…
