234:(AWI) in February 1982. The station consisted of steel containers housing living quarters and laboratories. The station was the first in the Antarctic to be mounted on jacks, allowing it to be raised in line with the increase in height of its surroundings due to snowfall. The structure was typically jacked up by around 1 metre (3.3 ft) each year. The structure could accommodate up to 26 personnel but was typically occupied only in the southern summer and by 12 people. The station was sited approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) from the edge of the

Automatic instrumentation was installed to continue geophysical and meteorological investigations throughout the year, not just the summer period when the station was staffed.
218:. The first station in Antarctica to be mounted on jacks, the structure was raised each year to allow for the increase in height of the shelf by snowfall. It was also relocated around 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) southwards each year to account for drift of the ice shelf. In October 1998, Filchner Station was stranded on

in early 1999 but became stranded in thick ice some 150 kilometres (93 mi) from the station. The ship was eventually freed and reached the 20 metres (66 ft) high edge of the iceberg in early
February. Over the following 10 days some 120 tonnes (120 long tons) of the station were recovered

from the
Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf, the largest iceberg to do so for decades, carrying with it the Filchner Station. The station was to have been the main base for an 800 kilometres (500 mi) expedition in 1999; this was cancelled and replaced with an emergency salvage operation. The recovery of

February 1999.
