	South Pole Station, Antarctica. A view showing one of the entrances to the underground passages. To the left of the entrance, workmen have laid a foundation for another Clements building. The original buildings were all constructed on the surface. Wooden framework covered with burlap and chicken wire provided the passageways between the buildings. The buildings and passageways were quickly covered with drifting snow which added to its insulating effect. Now additional building construction requires excavation of the snow before it can be constructed so that all buildings will be at the same level. This building is to contain a recreation area and additional office space. .Caption by Bill Nichols. (Circa 1959)
