The teams go to the station every January to March, during the Antarctic summer, when the weather is the best.
Update: On 14 March 2016 an automated weather station recorded a temperature of 17,8 ℃ (64.04 ℉) which is an all time high. More evidence of global warming.
The team also discovered a new species of bacteria which they named Pseudomonas gregormendeli. It is named after Johan Gregor Mendel, the 19th-century founder of modern genetics. The discovery will be published in the journal Current Microbiology.
