Aboa (from the Latin name of Turku) is a seasonal Finnish research station in Antarctica, located in Queen Maud Land, about 130 kilometres (81 mi) from the coast, on a nunatak called Basen in the Kraul Mountains.

Aboa is located on Basen Nunatak at Vestfjella mountains (73⁰03'S, 13⁰25'W), Dronning Maud Land. The station is built on snow-free basalt and regolith about 130 km south of the edge of sea ice and 480 m above the sea level.

Finland has established the research station Aboa in Antarctica (established in 1988/1989). Expeditions to Aboa are organised on an annual basis. FINNARP, the Finnish Antarctic research programme operating under the Finnish Meteorological Institute, is responsible for Finland’s Antarctic logistics and for maintaining Aboa.

Aboa Research Station is a Finnish research facility in Antarctica. It is situated next to the Swedish Wasa Research Station on the Basen nunatak in the Kraul Mountains in Queen Maud Land. Opened in 1988 and named for the former Finnish …

A Finnish expedition installed devices in Antarctica that enable more accurate research on the movement of Earth's crust and glaciers. The Finnish research station in Aboa is now a top-tier infrastructure measuring hub that will facilitate research in the area long into future.

FINNARP's main responsibilities are to carry out Finnish Antarctic research activities in accordance with the Finnish Antarctic Strategy, to maintain Aboa, arrange field research and supervise that both national and international law and obligations are complied with.

Finland started active Antarctic research when research station Aboa was founded in 1988. Typically, research activities take place during austral summer in the vicinity of Aboa and in cooperation with other Antarctic stations.
