The Antarctic outpost is an outpost built by the Ancients when they lived on Earth. Buried hundreds of feet beneath the ice of Antarctica, it is the last known remnant of the Ancients settlements on Earth. Precious little is known about the purpose of this outpost, except that it served as the only link between the lost city of Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy and the Milky Way. It is located on the site that Atlantis once occupied, being left behind when the former left for the Pegasus Galaxy.
Though small, the outpost contains thousands of drones which Col. Jack O'Neill used to annihilate the fleet of Anubis when he attempted to invade Earth in 2004. Like many of the weapons created by the Ancients, they can only be accessed by a control chair. Access to the outpost was gained by a set of Ring transporters, though an elevator was eventually built that allowed easier access through the tunnel that was created by the transporter. The outpost is identical to the one found on Proclarush Taonas. It includes a stasis chamber, ring platform, control chair, ZPM and a huge number of drone weapons. It is located not far from McMurdo station. It probably also contains a shield like the one on Taonis. (SG1: "Lost City, Part 2") (ATL: "Rising")
