| dc.description | Abstract: Construction on the polar ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica is a challenge, mainly because of the mechanical and thermal sensitivity of snow, the major constructional material. Adverse weather, logistical difficulties, and lack of experience add to the problem to make every project a costly experiment. This monograph describes the development of building in, on, and of, snow, beginning with the Eskimo snowhouse for temporary shelter, and leading to permanent installations like 6500-ton steel structures above the snow surface, and a large subsurface encampment maintained with the help of a nuclear reactor. The work is introductory to other monographs dealing with specific aspects of design, construction and operation.
