Dome C Summer Camp is now entering on WAP-WADA Antarctic Directory as WAP MNB- 14
Following the operation by David Brunet F4FKT who did sign FT4YM/p (November & Dicember 2021 and January 2022), at Dome C-Summer Camp 75° 05’ 59” South, 123° 19’ 56” East, a new WAP reference has been issued.
The picture aside , taken recently by the helicopter, shows both sites (Dome C Summer Camp to the left and Concordia Station to the right). The two sites have really 2 official names and are separated each other by a land strip.
Dome C summer Camp (75°05’59” South, 123°19’ 56” East), is a large camp, detached by about 700/800 mts from Concordia Station. This was the original site of the first Epica project then, it was the support base for the workers who built Concordia Station.
Dome C Smmer camp was never dismantled and actually is used as a depot with housing and warehouse. All the scientific equipments are inside the towers of Concordia and inside the shelters scattered around the Base.
