The Palmer Station Webcam is mounted on a tower overlooking the smallest of the United States Antarctic stations, as well as Arthur Harbour and the Bismarck Strait beyond. Storage containers, dormitories, and research facilities can all be seen in the image, as well as a dock to the left. In addition to regular visits by the research vessel Laurence M. Gould, cruise ships and other visitors to Antarctica can often be seen in view of the camera, parked off of Palmer Station.
