nce the 1970s, the island has been visited frequently by Norwegian Antarctic expeditions. In 1977, a temporary five-man station and an automated weather station were constructed and staffed for two months in 1978 and 1979.:?64? In March 1985, a Norwegian expedition experienced sufficiently clear weather to allow the entire island to be photographed from the air, resulting in the first accurate map of the whole island, 247 years after its discovery.:?59? The Norwegian Polar Institute established a 36 m2 (390 sq ft) research station, made of shipping containers, at Nyrøysa in 1996. On 23 February 2006, the island experienced a magnitude 6.2 earthquake whose epicentre was about 100 km (62 mi; 54 nmi) away, weakening the station's foundation and causing it to be blown to sea during a winter storm. In December 2012, a new research station was sent by ship from Tromsø in Norway, via Cape Town, to Bouvet. The robust and technically advanced station was assembled in Nyrøysa, on the north-western part of the island, the only place wide enough to land by helicopter. The elevated station is formed by three modules placed on a steel platform fixed into a concrete base. It can accommodate six people for periods of two to four months, and it is designed and equipped to resist rough weather conditions. The energy is supplied by wind power, which makes it easier to operate the equipment during the long periods when the station is uninhabited. The base is equipped with an automated meteorological station that sends data via satellite throu
