Marion Island
75 years ago, on 20 March 1948, the first synoptic weather observations were sent from the weather station on Marion Island, after South Africa setup the station the year before.
The first controller was A.B. Crafford who was also one of the first settlers on Tristan da Cunha. The station is located above a cove called Transvaal Cove. Since the establishment of the weather station, the staff are changed annually and supplies replenished.
