Welcome to Summit Station. Located at the top of the Greenland ice sheet, Summit Station supports innovative research in a variety of fields, and is the only year-round, high-altitude inland observatory in the Arctic. This research facility is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and is operated by CH2M Hill Polar Services (CPS), with research guidance from the Summit Science Coordination Office.

Observations made at Summit contribute to scientific advances in many fields. Current research topics include changes in the Arctic climate system, air-snow interactions, cloud-aerosol interactions, ice sheet mass balance, atmospheric transport, meteorology, and astrophysics, among others. Summit also provides a platform for training the next generation of scientists and is a testing ground for new instruments and research technologies. The thirty-year history of research at Summit provides an ongoing scientific context for modern observations.

Summit Station is located at 72°35'46.4"N, 38°25'19.1"W, and 3210 m (10,530 ft) above mean sea level.
