Marble Point Air Facility
Marble Point is a location in Antarctica that has played an important role in the region’s history and research. It was the site of an early U.S. Navy base during the International Geophysical Year in 1957-1958, and was considered as a potential location for a hard-surface runway that could support aircraft operations in the southern hemisphere. While the airfield was never completed, Marble Point has served as a refueling stop for helicopters working in the nearby Dry Valleys.
