Refugio naval Conscripto Ortiz is an Argentine refuge in Antarctica located 230 meters from the Brown Station. The refuge was opened on January 29, 1956 and it is administered by the Argentine Navy. His name pays homage to the conscript Mario Inocencio Ortíz who died, on March 15, during the Argentine Antarctic campaign of 1954-1955 in service aboard the transport ship ARA Bahía Aguirre. The detachment worked as a meteorological observatory and as a base for Antarctic campaigns.
