Scottish National Antarctic Expedition (1902–1904), was a two year exploration of the Weddell Sea. Led by William Speirs Bruce, it established Omond House, a meteorological observatory on Laurie Island in the South Orkneys. A year later, ownership was passed to Argentina and it was renamed to Orcadas Base. It's the continent's oldest permanent base.
