| Summary: | Tsuneyuki Yoda and Kouichi Togashi participated in the 43rd Japanese Antarctic Expedition as architechts of the wintering party. The construction work started from December 19, 2001, and lasted 63days with total working hours of 1100 person* days. The main project was the construction of the 2nd warehouse, which required 297 person* days (one-fourth of the total working hours). They left for Dome Fuji Station as members of the traverse party on October 12, and worked on the construction of a new snow trench at the ice core drilling site during November 14, 2002-January 23, 2003. Accumulated snow cover was thicker than expected, and trenching required 103 working hours. |
