You can review the list of stations here -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_stations_in_Antarctica

Each is supported by a government that signed the Antarctic Treaty. The stations serve as centers for research about the health of planet earth. A station consists of dormitories, laboratories, cafeterias and work buildings.

Differences in stations are centrally divergent based on the government that supports the station. Some cultural differences are apparent. For example, the Russian Stations operate larger saunas than most other stations, and stations supported by the United States operate larger cafeterias than most other stations.
