BYRD STATION SNOW TUNNELS - MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES.
To prevent excessive snow-tunnel closure, equipment and techniques were developed to score and trim the snow-tunnel walls at Byrd Station Antarctica. The equipment includes a chain saw and guide for scoring the snow to a controlled depth, hand tools for chipping the scored snow from the walls, a gas...
