Summit Station is home to the Greenland Environmental Observatory (GEOSummit), established by the National Science Foundation with cooperation from the government of Greenland. The station is located atop 3200 meters of ice and is nearly 400 kilometers from the nearest point of land. Summit supports a diversity of scientific research, including year-round measurements of air-snow interactions that provide crucial knowledge for interpreting data from deep ice cores drilled both at Summit and elsewhere.
