Brazil: Martel Inlet (Comandante Ferraz) (2)
-
2007 (station established 1984). Active; focal plane about 20 m (66 ft); red light, 1 s on, 1 s off. Approx. 8 m (26 ft) square skeletal tower with gallery, painted red. Wikimedia has a view from the sea, the light is to the right of the many fuel tanks in an aerial view, a view of the station shows the light in the left distance, and the light is in the far left in another view. The four foundation pads of the tower are shown in Google's fuzzy satellite view. Located at Brazil's Comandante Ferraz Station, at the north end of Admiralty Bay, a large embayment on the south side of King George Island. The station was established in 1984 but had to be abandoned after a disastrous fire in February 2012. A new station was activated in 2020 and is staffed year round. Site manager: PROANTAR. Admiralty G1387.5; NGA 111-2729.

Poland: Arctowski (King George Island, Point Thomas)

Date unknown (scientific station established 1977). Active; focal plane 18 m (59 ft); white light, 3 s on, 6 s off. 11 m (36 ft) round cylindrical tower with a small lantern and gallery. The upper half of the light is painted white and the lower half red (the color pattern of the Polish flag). A Wikimedia photo is at right. The lighthouse was originally painted with red and white horizontal bands, as seen in Douglas Cameron's photo posted by Trabas, but it appeared all white in Ted Smith's 2007 photos. Wikimedia has several additional photos but the light is not seen in Google's satellite view. This lighthouse guides vessels to Poland's Henryk Arctowski station, located on the west side of Admiralty Bay. The station is staffed year round. This is one of the stations most frequently visited by Antarctic adventure cruises. Site and tower closed. Site manager: Polish Academy of Sciences. ARLHS SSI-001; Admiralty G1387.4; NGA 111-2728.
