For the reasons such as resource development, an interest in the extreme cold regions has been increasing in recent years. Therefore, this study aims to suggest the application methods of satellite images for the construction projects over extreme cold regions. Because extreme cold regions including the Antarctic is generally far and difficult to access, the satellite images are useful to monitor the extreme cold regions. In this study, satellite images can be used in the overall construction process and the application methods presented through the review of the case studies and the related literature.

This study was started for providing the application method of hyperspectral im age over extreme cold area as the Antarctic. Study area was Terra Nova Bay area which was decided as the candidate of 2nd Antarctic base station. For deciding last location of base station, many researchers tried to analyze the suitability of this study area. Among many suitability indicators, the location and stability of extracted bed rock area were very important. Using many spectral information of hyperspectral data, we tried detecting of bed rock and classifying four rock types. As additionally data, international spectral library of rock were used in this study. At the results, short-infrared wavelength bands were useful in the detection and classification of bed rock.
