REPORT OF THE WINTERING PARTY OF THE 7TH JAPANESE ANTARCTIC RESEARCH EXPEDITION IN 1966-1967
1. Syowa Station was enlarged on the opportunity of its reopening. Various huts to accomodate the equipments were constructed, including the new power hut which housed two 45KVA diesel electric generators, a pre-heating hut housing a circulation flush toilet and a preheating tank, and radio and tran...
