Radiocommunication equipment coverage tests have also been carried out, and the team has visited Chile's Arturo Prat Station to manage Internet connectivity to plan the transmission of videos in real time to the ECU 911, in order to improve communication processes from that part of the planet with the scientific stations of the Americas.Īccording to the data provided, a technician will travel in the coming days to Antarctica for other tests with a PTZ camera, which will be added to the two installed. To carry out these tests, staff from the Navy Oceanographic Institute have been supported (Inocar) the Polytechnic High School of the Littoral (Espol) the Military Geophysical Institute (Igm) INAE, and San Francisco University of Quito (Usfq), among other institutions that were part of this journey. These activities, that have been executed in the Greenwich Islands, Barrientos and Torre, have allowed recording with the still camera and thermal unique images (the site's own fauna was recorded) and unrepeatable landscapes via mobile device. In addition, the location of the Control and Monitoring Center was defined to locate the rapid deployment equipment of the eLTE point-to-point data transmission system. To do this, the technical team that moved to Antarctica was responsible for reconnaissance of the terrain, mounting antennas from the base station, testing of electrical connections and coverage of radio equipment. Specialists worked on installing two video surveillance cameras (one of them infrared) to offer more security to staff who will stay for three months at this location, in addition to testing the operation of these devices at extreme temperatures, in order to complete the coverage of the entire Ecuadorian territory, including Antarctica. The journey began in December 2019 and ended in this month January because of the 10,462 Km away between Ecuador and Antarctic territory. The C postal-rate stamp presents a thermographic printing system, with iridescent ink creating a sensation of icicles all around the stamp’s perimeter.ECU video surveillance cameras 911 record unreleased images of Antarctica Experts from this Ecuadorian security service have installed two cameras (fixed and thermal), to which a PTZ device will be added shortly, as part of a scientific initiative to analyze and test its connectivity and operations in this place and, at another stage, capture images in real time.Įquipped with special video surveillance devices, an Integrated Security Service technical group Ecu 911 Ecuador has been for, Approximately, a month at the pedro Vicente Maldonado Science Station facility ( Pevima, on greenwich Island) Antarctica to record unreleased images of this part of the planet.Įcu experts 911 arrived at Pevima station on the Spanish Navy's Hesperides ship, being part of the XXIV Ecuadorian Antarctic Expedition carried out annually by the Ecuadorian Antarctic Institute ( INAE). A penguin appears in the foreground, making up part of the base's emblem. The stamp depicts the marvellous Antarctic landscape with the Spanish base in the background. The Chief Medical Officer of the expedition was tasked with postmarking correspondence, which was then distributed on arrival in Spain. A commemorative postmark had previously been created for each year of the expedition at the base.
In 1991, a stamp was issued on the Antarctic Treaty and ship “Las Palmas” and in 1998 another was issued featuring the Juan Carlos I Spanish Antarctic Base.Ĭorreos issued a stamp in 2011, as part of its Biodiversity and Oceanography series, to mark the oceanographic research ship, Hespérides a first day of issue postmark was presented in 2014, bearing a picture of that ship, the only Spanish vessel designed for multidisciplinary scientific research in the planet's seas and oceans, in both Arctic and Antarctic areas, during summer in the northern and southern hemispheres.Ī special postmark franking machine has been in service at the Gabriel de Castilla Antarctic Base since 2014. The shelter is named after Gabriel de Castilla, the Spanish navigator and explorer credited with the discovery of Antarctica at the start of the 17th century.įor years now, Correos has celebrated the Antarctic missions of Spanish individuals or organisations. It is run by the Operations Division of the Army's General Staff, which is coordinated in turn by the Spanish Polar Committee.
The Gabriel de Castilla military shelter was established on the island in 1989. Translated incorrectly by the Spanish as Isla Decepción (Disappointment Island), Deception Island lies 12,000 km from Spain and is the caldera of one of the Antarctic's three volcanoes.
