We report on the first summer of high-sensitivity radon measurementsfrom a two-filter detector at 12Jang Bogo Station(Terra Nova Bay), and contrast them with simultaneousobservations at King 13Sejong Station (King George Island).King Sejong radon concentrations were characteristic of a 14marinebasel...
