Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows (Belgrano II Base)

The Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows (Spanish: Capilla de Nuestra Señora de las Nieves) is the name given to a temple excavated in a cave in the ice near the Belgrano II base in the territory it claims as part of Argentine Antarctica. It is one of eight churches on Antarctica. This church in a cave with walls made of ice is the most southern place of worship of any religion in the world. It is a permanent Catholic church for the whole year of Argentina base and scientific research station founded in 1955 on Coats Land.
