The Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE) established its first base at Atlas Cove on Heard Island on the 11 December 1947 as a prelude to the formal transfer of sovereignty from the United Kingdom to Australia, and the proclamation of the area as an Australian Territory on 26 December 1947. The ANARE station at Atlas Cove initially comprised 18 buildings and by 1951 had increased to 35 buildings. Atlas Cove was closed down on 9 March 1955, following the establishment of Mawson Base on the Antarctic continent in 1954.
