CSIS used satellite images taken in January to identify new support facilities, temporary buildings, a helicopter pad and foundations for a larger main building at the 5,000 sq meter (53,820 sq ft) station. It estimated that construction could be done by 2024.
First Chinese Antarctic station goes back to the ‘80s. There is a dispute with Australia over the location of at least one of several Chinese stations.
