SPECIFICATIONS FOR A TEMPORARY POLAR CAMP

Abstract

A temporary polar camp was developed to provide comfortable living conditions for 2- to 5-year occupancy in polar areas. The camp is suitable for use on snow, ice and permafrost as well as firm ground. The design includes structures, air-conditioning, water supply, sanitation, electrical power and other such facilities integrated to form a functional component. A basic camp capacity of 50 men is planned with expansion in 50-man increments to 200-man capacity.
