A group of experienced scientists investigated various potential locations for a new research facility in
Northeast Greenland in 1991 and concluded that the position near the Zackenberg Elv delta was optimal. The construction of the station was started in 1995 and the station was officially opened in

Zackenberg has 10 buildings holding scientific equipment and laboratories, living accommodations and a communication room. The station can host up to 20 persons at the same time with additional 10 persons at the branch facility at
Daneborg. Zackenberg Station has normally been open for scientists

from June to August but since 2007 the season has been extended from approximately May to
