Snow controls to reduce snow drifts at Syowa Station
Snow controls were employed to reduce snow drifts around buildings and a main road during the period of the 53rd Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-53) wintering party at Syowa Station. Snow and ice that accumulated under the elevated areaway of a sewage treatment building were removed and...
