Activities of the wintering party of the 30th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition, 1989-1990
The wintering party of the 30th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition performed its activities at Syowa, Mizuho and Asuka Stations from 1989 to 1990. The wintering party at Syowa Station composed of 29 personnel carried out the routine and fundamental observations comprising aurora, geomagnetism, i...
