The Arquipélago São Pedro e São Paulo, located at 1° North latitude, serves as a critical natural laboratory for Brazilian marine science.▶ 3:53 Formed by a tectonic fault, the archipelago consists of small islets rising 12 meters above sea level from a 4,500-meter-deep mountain base.▶ 4:56 The site experiences frequent seismic activity due to its location on the edge of a tectonic plate.▶ 5:11 Since 1998, the Programa Arquipélago has facilitated continuous research through a rotating station that accommodates four researchers for 15-day shifts.▶ 2:36 Expeditions depart from Natal, Brazil, requiring a three-to-four-day transit by motorized vessel.▶ 11:11 A third research station, currently under construction with completion expected in 2026, will replace the existing 2007 structure to provide improved laboratory and living facilities.▶ 9:06 Managed by the Secretaria da Comissão Interministerial para Recursos do Mar (SECIRM) with funding from CNPq and ICMBio, the program supports diverse studies in climatology, ecology, ichthyology, and geology.▶ 7:22 Researchers must complete a mandatory one-week training course in Natal before deployment to the archipelago.▶ 13:59
