Description

We accompanied the observation team at a milestone when Japan began its observation for the 60th anniversary. The period of closely watching was about 4 months. Members were making a thorough investigation while staying in the outdoor huts and tents. In the summer Antarctica, the sun does not set, while the temperature is below freezing.
