Punta Arenas like Christ church New Zealand is the staging point for much of the activity in Antarctica. The office of the Chilean Antarctica support logistics and research is based here. And the only private on the Ice group is staged out of here as well it is Adventure Network International now acquired by Antarctic logistics.

A staff of around twenty administrators, camp organizers, food-, weather- and navigation people and hired pilots arrive around October to the ANI headquarters located in an old wooden townhouse in Punta Arenas. Bursting with activity the staff commences to prepare for the Antarctic summer season. ANI caters to South Pole trekkers, Mount Vinson climbers, wildlife watchers and polar scientists.

A warehouse at the edge of the city holds airplane fuel drums and trekkers sleds.
