Abstract

In order to design and construction of the Antarctic Continental Station at the Terra Nova Bay in the East Antarctic, ground characteristics for soil samples taken from the Antarctic. A series of laboratory tests were performed to investigate the variations of the thermal conductivity, the unfrozen water content according to the temperature change of the soil taken from the Antarctic. The temperature were low down below zero.
