King George Island has much different names. In Argentina: Isla 25 de Mayo, Chile: Isla Rey Jorge, Russian historical name: Waterloo. She is the largest of the South Shetland Islands, situated at 120 kilometers off the coast of Antarctica in the Southern Ocean. The Island was named after King George III(King of Great Britain).Several countries maintain research stations on the Islands. Most of them are situated on King George Island, benefitting from the airfield of the Chilean base Eduardo Frei.
There are sixteen research stations to date in different parts of the islands, with Chilean stations being the greatest in number. Research is often a shared duty of nations, with Chilean-American Shirreff Base being an example of this.
