第51 次日本南極地域観測越冬隊28 名は,2010 年2 月1 日から翌2011年1 月31 日までの1 年間,昭和基地で越冬し,第VII期5 か年計画最終年次の観測・設営計画を遂行した.越冬観測では定常観測(電離層・気象・潮汐)と,重点プロジェクト研究観測,一般プロジェクト研究観測及び萌芽研究観測,また,宙空圏・気水圏・地圏・生態系変動及び地球観測衛星データによる環境変動のモニタリング研究観測を実施した.設営活動としては通常の昭和基地の維持運営活動のほか,新「しらせ」での往復のコンテナ輸送,自然エネルギー棟建設への着手など,新たな取り組みも実施した.さらに,アウトリーチ活動の一環として,TV 会議システムなどを利用した昭和基地から日本の小・中・高等学校などへの「南極教室」や観測隊の活動,南極の自然に関する情報発信を積極的に行った.夏期間の雪の多さと悪天候のため実施できなかった項目もあるが,越冬期間中の観測・設営活動の担当項目数は132 項目であった. This report outlines the activities of the 51st Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-51) wintering party, over the period from 1st February 2010 to 31st January 2011. The party, with 28 members, has successfully conducted the final-year project of the 7th four-year plan of JARE. The research expedition framework of the JARE-51 wintering party consisted of three routine observation programs (ionosphere, meteorology and tide), several project researches, and monitoring research observation programs in upper atmospheric physics, atmospheric sciences and glaciology, geophysics, biology and environmental monitoring studies using satellite. In addition to many continuing works to maintain the Syowa Station, several new logistical activities alsoconducted, such as application of new cargo system using 12-ft containers and theconstruction of a large building named "Shizen-enerugi-to (Natural energy building)". As scientific outreach activities, classes to Japanese elementary, junior high and high schools were conducted, and information of the JARE activities and natural beauty of Antarctica were delivered through the satellite TV-conference system from Syowa Station, too. In spite of experiencing the worst two summers due to heavy snow and wind, 132 missions of researches and logistics were tried to carry out during the period.
