Wikipedia is claiming that the Omond House - 1903 - was the first permanent base. Renamed to Orcadas Base in 1904 and permanently inhabited since.

That's not even within the Antarctic circle, I don't think I'd consider it a "South Pole" outpost.


Orcadas Base is 60°S, if that's a pole station than so is St Petersburg.
