A TEMPORARY POLAR CAMP
A temporary polar camp was developed to provide comfortable living conditions for periods up to 5 years in the Arctic and Antarctic. The camp design includes structures, air conditioning, water supply, sanitation, and other facilities integrated to form a unified functional component. The basic camp...
