Blaiklock Island Refuge located on the North side of Blaiklock Island at 67°32’South, 67°12’West, was established in 1957 and used intermittently from 1957 to 1958 as a refuge and satellite base for survey and geological parties from nearby bases.
Blaiklock Hut (WAP GBR-NEW), designated as Historic Site No. 63 under the Antarctic Treaty, 19 May 1995 (included with Horseshoe Island Station “Y”, WAP GBR-14), has been managed by UKAHT since Oct 2014 under a Memorandum of Understanding with BAS.
UKAHT’s work, centres on six historic bases along the Antarctic Peninsula, each site telling a unique story of discovery and scientific exploration. UKART preserve historic buildings and artefacts in Antarctica to help current and future generations discover, understand, value and protect this precious wilderness.
At Port Lockroy, Base “A” (WAP GBR-Ø1) UKAHT welcome visitors throughout the Austral summer to explore the museum, visit the world’s southernmost post office, observe the penguin colony and share the wonders of the white continent’s history. Along with their ambitious arts, education and events programme, UKAHT bring together people from around the world to learn about Antarctica’s past, present and future.

As far as WAP knows, no one has never operate HamRadio from Blaiklock Refuge. Ham radio Community as well as the WW Antarctic Ham radio chasers, send an appeal to UKAHT who manage some of the most wanted sites, to arrange some HamRadio activity from those rare ones … it will be a clever way to attract founds and interest on the remarkable work done by UKHAT in Antarctica!
