Argentina's involvement in Antarctica began with José María Sobral, who between 1901 and 1903 was part of the first Swedish expedition to the Antarctic region. It continued in 1904 with the work carried out on Laurie Island, where Argentina received the meteorological station of the first Scottish expedition to Antarctica. Augusto Tapia, the first Argentine glaciologist, worked on Laurie Island. From the 1940s onwards, the first geological studies of the Peninsula were carried out by Pascual Sgrosso, which preceded the creation of the Argentine Antarctic Institute in 1951, a world pioneer institution in scientific research on the white continent. In the 1950s, numerous expeditions carried out by the institute allowed us to learn about the characteristics of the Argentine Antarctic sector. Among the first studies, we have the works of Isaías Cordini, Juan Olsacher, Néstor Fourcade and Osvaldo Schauer. With the creation of the National Antarctic Direction, regular studies began, in which not only the Institute's staff but also geologists from different universities in the country participated each year. Over the years, geological and paleontological surveys in our Antarctic sector have stood out for the variety and importance of the studies.
