In 2010 it has been enlarged and in "warm" months is linked to the Italian Concordia Station (operated together with French researchers).

This facility -created in 1985- hosts a variety of scientific projects. The Programma Nazionale di Ricerche in Antartide (National Antarctic Research Program (PNRA)) works closely with the US Antarctic Program and Antarctica New Zealand.
