Water supply at Syowa Station, Antarctica
The Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) has sourced domestic water for daily use from ponds, snow drifts, and icebergs on sea ice at Syowa Station since the first wintering expedition. These water sources are dependent on weather conditions and maintenance of the sources requires considera...
