'''Esperanza Base''' ({{langx|es|Base Esperanza}}, 'Hope Base') is a permanent, all-year-round [[Argentina|Argentine]] [[research station]] in [[Hope Bay, Antarctica|Hope Bay]], [[Trinity Peninsula]] (in [[Graham Land]] on the [[Antarctic Peninsula]]). It is the only civilian settlement on the Antarctic mainland (the [[Chile]]an [[Villa Las Estrellas]] is on the [[South Shetland Islands]]). The base's motto is ''Permanencia, un acto de sacrificio'' ('Permanence, an act of sacrifice').
