Note on the Feasibility of Establishing Snow and Ice Runways at Japanese Antarctic Stations-In the Context of the East Antarctic Air Network -

This report summarizes the feasibility study to introduce intercontinental air operation for the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) by establishing hard-surface runways near JARE stations. Syowa Station and the Yamato Mountains areas were considered to identify the favorable sites for run...
