Europan Antarctic Program

The Europan Antarctic Program is the national Antarctic research program headed by the Kingdom of Europa. It is one of the largest programs, behind the Russian and Argentine ones.

History
The Kingdom of Europa has been involved in Antarctica since the late 1950s. In 1957 a private expedition stayed in a temporary station during the summer. A few other expeditions were held in 1959 and 1960. The Europa Institute of Antarctic Research was founded in 1961 and sent a mission to Coats Land to study the feasibility of building a more permanent station. A small building was built in 1963 and 25 people could remain there at one time. It was disassembled in 1965. The EIAR was renamed the Europan Antarctic Program in 1965. In 1966 the Domus Station (Latin for Home) was built. This became the primary point for all Europan expeditions to the continent.

Research stations
Europa operates several research stations in the continent of Antarctica. {| class="wikitable sortable" ! Base || Open || Country || Established || Operator || Location
