Hi Paul, Regarding this comment at the top of the antartica file:
# From Paul Eggert (1999-11-15): # To keep things manageable, we list only locations occupied year-round; see # COMNAP - Stations and Bases # http://www.comnap.aq/comnap/comnap.nsf/P/Stations/ [...] You may want to update it to link to page which is not dead [1]. It contains a link to "COMNAP Antarctic Facilities List", which is a file that is updated periodically as things change in Antarctica (not often, I assume?). Currently it is this [2]. Anyways, China opened a new year-round base in 2024 that it is probably worth mentioning [3]. It has a higher population than their other ones, if Wikipedia is to be trusted [4]. Patch attached.
