The Brazilian navy says it has recovered the bodies of two of its members from the debris of a Brazilian research station in the Antarctic.
The Comandante Ferraz base near the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula was destroyed by an explosion on Saturday.
Officials said the blast was caused by a fire which raged through the base, where marine research work is carried out.
A third member of the navy injured in the fire is in a stable condition.
Defence Minister Celso Amorim praised the military personnel's bravery.
"In an act of heroism, they risked their lives to extinguish the fire, but did not succeed," Mr Amorim said.
He said all the scientists from the station had been evacuated to Punto Arenas in Chile, from where they will be taken to Brazil on Sunday.
The military personnel stayed in Antarctica, but sought temporary shelter at Chile's Eduardo Frei research base.
Officials said the fire started in a machine room housing energy generators before destroying the entire station, which had been built in 1984.
Fifty-nine people were stationed at the base on King George Island when the fire broke out on Saturday morning.
The Comandante Ferraz base was equipped with research laboratories, dormitories, a large-scale kitchen, a library, and technical installation used by expedition boats.
An investigation is under way to establish the cause of the blaze.
Researchers said the burning down of the station was "an incalculable loss to science".
Analysis
This apparently spontaneous explosion stands among many such unusual events now unfolding, involving the impact of intense electrical ground currents caused by the coronal mass ejections of the Sun.
These unusual fires are the direct result of an unrecognized force: ultra-low frequency sound, far below the audible level of most humans. This infrasonic influence is building strong electrical currents in the metal objects like wheel-barrows, door-knockers and copper electrical wiring in the walls of homes, which then become hot enough to ignite the plastic sheathing surrounding the wires. In other cases, heated wires ignite bed mattresses and metal hangers ignite clothing.
The infrasound which is now being focused onto the Ferraz base station vicinity is being transduced by the Orion pyramids of present-day Giza, Egypt, which act as a nonlinear lensing system for resonantly balancing the geomagnetic fields of Earth as stimulated by coronal mass ejections from the increasing solar activity.
El Comandante Ferraz Base Station (62.09°S 58.39°W) is 8,002 miles from Giza, comprising 32.1% of the Earth's mean circumference (of 24,892 miles), following a geometric pattern of energetic surges caused by increasingly intense infrasound resonance in these hotspots.
This mathematical relationship of this site within the global pyramid network reveals the invisible quantum connections linking such anomalous events related to solar activity. This pattern of intense solar flares and the resulting infrasound fires at focal points around the planet will culminate in the intense auroral events of December 22, 2012.
