Destacamento Lighthouse

The Destacamento Lighthouse is not explicitly mentioned in the provided wikitext, which appears to describe the Orcadas Base, an Argentine scientific station in Antarctica. However, it is possible to provide information about the location and features of the Orcadas Base. The base is located on Laurie Island, one of the South Orkney Islands, at an elevation of 4 meters above sea level and 170 meters from the coastline.

The Orcadas Base was established by the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition in 1903 and was transferred to the Argentine government in 1904. It has been permanently populated since then, making it the oldest of the stations in Antarctica still in operation.

The base has 11 buildings and conducts research in various fields, including continental glaciology, seismology, and meteorology. It is one of six Argentine permanent bases in Argentina's claim to Antarctica and is permanently inhabited, with a population of 35 people in the summer and 17 people in the winter.
