Where is SANAE?
SANAE is located at 71 40,42′ South and 002 50,45′ West. This is in the Queen Maud Land area of Eastern Antarctica. Located on a mountain named Vesleskarvet, the base looks out over a vista of flat ice and snow to the north and west, with some distant mountains rearing up from the ice-plain in the south and east. We’re about 160 km inland from the coast, and about 80 km from the hinge zone, where the iceshelf, floating on the ocean, is attached to land.
