The Yellow River Station (Chinese: 黄河站; pinyin: Huánghé Zhàn) is a scientific research station of China in the Arctic, located in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, Norway. The station was established by the Polar Research Institute of China in 2003.[1][2][3]

Scientists at the station conducted research into the Aurora Borealis, microbes in the ice-pack, glacier monitoring, arctic biogeochemistry, and atmospheric research.[1][4][5] Concerns have been raised about potential dual use of the station.[6]
