Comandante Ferraz is a Brazilian research base on King George Island. It's a year round base that has been in use since 1984 and is maintained by the Brazilian Navy.

Sadly, on 5 February 2012, a fire tore through the base and destroyed most of it, killing two people. The Brazilian government believes it will be another two years before the base is again functional.
