UNDERSNOW STRUCTURES: BYRD STATION, ANTARCTICA
Byrd Station consists of a network of shallow tunnels containing light, T-5-type, prefabricated buildings and other items of equipment. Some small buildings (e.g., aurora tower, balloon pavilion, rawin dome) are elevated above the snow surface on extensible columns. The tunnels were constructed by t...
