On a trial estimation of construction work for the ground runway at East Ongul Island in Antarctica
It is a long-standing request of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) to have a ground runway constructed on East Ongul Island. If the dream comes true, the runway will make it possible for samll airplanes to be used by JARE. Ideally the runway can be used all the time. Furthermore, it...
