About Davis Station at this Time in Antarctica

At this time in Davis Research Station in Antarctica is an Australian Antarctic Territory  under the subdivision of Princess Elizabeth Land which is under the administration of Australian Antarctic Division. The Davis station is located on the coast of Cooperation Sea in Princess Elizabeth Land, Ingrid Christensen Coast in the Australian Territory of Antarctica. Davis station actually lies in the Antarctic Oasis which is an ice free area at this time known as the Vest Folds Hills.
