El complejo científico con las mejores vistas del planeta

Abstract

La memoria de la base antártica española Juan Carlos I se remonta hasta los años de la Guerra Fría. Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética habían trasladado el pulso al Polo Sur, estableciendo sus campamentos de forma estratégica. En este contexto histórico, el oceanógrafo catalán Antoni Ballester buscaba la fórmula de llegar a la Antártida, ya que España no podía por sus propios medios. Finalmente consigue incorporarse a la expedición polaca. Tras varias años navegando, los polacos le revelan un secreto; la existencia y localización de una playa situada en una isla del archipiélago Shetland del Sur. Se llama Livingston y se trata de un lugar ideal para levantar un campamento. En 1986 Ballester, su discípula Josefina Castellví i Piulachs y dos técnicos pasan el verano austral reconociendo el terreno y descubren que efectivamente es perfecta. Ballester sufre un ictus meses después que le impide regresar y el proyecto queda en manos de Castellví. En enero de 1988, con la ayuda de los polacos, la joven bióloga deposita el primer contenedor. «Las Shetland permiten una logística asumible. A medida que bajas hacia el sur, los rompehielos tienen que ser más grandes y todo se complica. Y esta playa de Livingston es muy buena por varios motivos. Primero porque tenemos agua dulce. El glaciar funde, el agua acaba en un lago y llega a la base a través de un río. Además, estamos en una bahía que nos protege de los temporales y posibilita operar al Hespérides y al Sarmiento de Gamboa», explica Joan Riba, jefe actual de la base. [...]
