Giacomo Bove Station

The valley contains the ruins of the first Italian building in Antarctica built by a private expedition led by Renato Cepparo in 1975–76.[1] The building was destroyed by the Argentine Navy in September 1976. A proposal to add the station ruins to the list of Historic Sites and Monuments (HSM) in Antarctica was submitted to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM).
