This is one sign you will probably never see. This quirky sign is located on Anvers Island, the only U.S. station located north of the Antarctic Circle. Who is this station named for?

The Palmer Station in Antarctica is a world-famous research outpost named for Nathaniel B. Palmer, usually recognized as the first American to see Antarctica. Accommodating up to 46 people, it's about as distant from the equator as Fairbanks, Alaska.
