Refuge Emílio Goeldi (Portuguese: Refúgio Emílio Goeldi) is a Brazilian Antarctic summer facility named after the Swiss-Brazilian naturalist and zoologist Émil Goeldi. Built in 1988, the structure is located on Elephant Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.
The structure can accommodate up to 6 scientists for up to 40 days.[1] and depends both logistically and administratively on Comandante Ferraz station. Together with Refuge Astronomer Cruls, located on the Nelson Island, constitute the basic infra-structure to support the Brazilian Antarctic Program in Antarctica.
