Activities of the first wintering party at Asuka Station by the 28th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition in 1987
A construction of Asuka Station had been started at the 26th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-26), and all the necessary wintering facilities were finally equipped by mid-February 1987 during JARE-28 operation. The first wintering activities at Asuka Station started immediately thereafte...
