Icaro Camp is a facility, fitted as a meteorological station, located south of the Zucchelli Station.
The camp consists of two blue containers, held by guy-wires, meteorological equipment, solar panels and a wind generator. Although the structures are not suited to accommodate people, they could shelter a dozen in case of emergency.
