According to the Australian Antarctic Division of the Australian government, Mawson Base is located on an "... isolated outcrop of rock on the coast in Mac.Robertson Land, at the edge of the Antarctic plateau at 67'36'S 6252'E."

This means that the area of the base is limited to the size of the outcrop, since venturing beyond its boundaries endangers life.
