∙ 8y agoThere is no one 'base camp' in Antarctica.
As of October 2006 -- the latest data available, about 30 countries support permanent research stations on the continent, and some countries support more than one station. During the busy summer season, an additional 30 or so temporary field camps are erected by various stations.
Most stations are located along Antarctica's coasts, based on access to open water. Notably, the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station (USA) and Vostok Research Station (Russia) are located inland.
Temporary camps are located wherever access permits, and generally farther inland that the main stations.
