Community Ice Cellars In Eastern Chukotka: Climatic And Anthropogenic Influences On Structural Stability
The large community ice cellar designs in eastern Chukotka are unique within the Arctic due to the mixed influences from the indigenous Chukchi people and western industry. Community ice cellars here were designed and constructed in the 1950s-60s to accommodate both food stores for local indigenous...
