Abstract
Desde la segunda mitad de la década del 40 la República Argentina intensificó sus actividades en el sector antártico y cada una de sus dependencias comenzó a tener un gran valor estratégico y militar. El Observatorio de las Islas Orcadas pertenecía desde 1904 al Ministerio de Agricultura y más tarde a la Oficina de Asuntos Técnicos, pero, a diferencia de los destacamentos de Decepción y Melchior, no era ocupado por personal militar, quedando el sector oriental de la península antártica indefenso ante cualquier intromisión armada extranjera. Ante esto el gobierno argentino decidió el traspaso del observatorio de Asuntos Técnicos a la Marina de Guerra, pero se generó ante ambos organismos problemas presupuestarios que demoraron la toma formal del observatorio por parte del personal militar. Este trabajo es parte de la ponencia presentada en la XVII RAPAL y X Reunión de Historiadores Antárticos Iberoamericanos realizado en el Palacio San Martín, Buenos Aires, octubre 2008.
