Zucchelli Station is an Italian seasonal research station in Antarctica, located at Terra Nova Bay on a granitic headland along the coast of the Northern Foothills to the north-east of Gerlache Inlet. It has been named after Mario Zucchelli, director of the activities, which conducted for sixteen years, for the ENEA-Unità Tecnica Antartide as part of the National Antarctic Research Program (PNRA).[2]

The main functions carried out by the Station are:

  • logistic support to scientific personnel operating in remote fields
  • logistical and operational support to the oceanographic ship
  • support to research activities with laboratories and instrumentation
  • support to personnel and material in transit for Concordia Station
  • support to air operations
