Hello!!
I am going to introduce culture of Antarctic. Maybe, this is last blog. So if you read my blog to the last, I am glad!! And if there are the person who read all of my blog, I am more glad!!!
Culture exists where people are. However, there are few people in Antarctic. So culture is not much that can be introduced. But, first, I will introduce the life of Antarctic. And I want you to know it.
I will introduce in the heart of the Antarctic food, clothing and shelter. Antarctica is so cold, we need warm clothes.But some piece of 1 T-shirt because of the warm indoor base. I was very surprised to hear this.
Meals are cooked by professional chefs. We can not eat a lot of vegetables, but we can eat vegetables that can be stored frozen. And there are a lot of liquor, meat and fish. Meals are adjusted to be about 4000kcal calories per day. Diet of Antarctic is richer than I thought.
There are a lot of building, building has been constructed by one year. And there are bath and toilet. Instead the range to clean increased.
Food, clothing and shelter in Antarctica, you do not have anything lame. It might be nice if we lived in Antarctica.
There is no entertainment in the Antarctic. If there is no entertainment, you are boring. And you accumulated stress. But there is a way to enjoy healthy and venerable in the Antarctic. I'll show them.
It is a festival. It is called "the mid-winter festival". This festival is being implemented in all the base in Antarctica. In addition to that, there is also such as agricultural cooperatives to make watching movies and radish sprouts. There are a variety of play this way.
Thank you for reading my blog. I think that you know Antarctic than previous.
Thank you!!!

Politics
Hello!!!
I am going to introduce politics of Antarctic. You may think that is there politics in Antarctic? And you may think that there is little people in Antarctic, so the politics is not necessary. But that is not right. If you think so, I want you to read this week's blog. I may change your concept.
First, I want you to know that Antarctic is not nation. You may know that it is no wonder. However, it is problem. Because nobody owns Antarctic. In other words, many country want to own Antarctic. Now, Antarctic is considered a prime location in the political. But some country claim that the territorial area of Antarctic. Those country is New Zealanad, Australia, France, Norway, Chile, and Argentina. Territory claimed by each country has become the sector. This is called the theory sector.
And there is a part that overlaps the area claimed by Argentina, England and Chile. So it can be seen that a problem of territory of Antarctica is not clear. And other countries have expressed some form of the right to sovereignty over the Antarctic. It also makes the problem difficult. This issue is still not resolved.
This claim territorial rights have been suspended since 1959. This 1959 is the year that the Antarctic Treaty has been ratified. This treaty has been signed by the 12 countries such as the United Kingdom, Argentina, Chile, Australia and the United States. This treaty prohibits military action. This ban is very harsh. It also prohibited the construction of experimental trial military bases and fortifications, military maneuvers, weapons. So in Antarctica, military issues is not happening most of the time.In addition, the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty was exchanged in 1998 at the end of the discussion. In this Protocol ,defined as "nature reserve for peace and science" Antarctic,and have banned all mining.
By the way, many coal, oil and natural gas have been found in Antarctica. And such as iron ore and gems are also found. But these excavations are prohibited by the Protocol. I think if there is this many mineral resources, and a territorial dispute would not have happened. The territorial dispute in the Arctic is not actually happening. More than anything, I think that I want Antarctic environment to remains clean.
Next week is last week I write this blog. Next week, I am going to introduce cluture.
Thank you!!

Showa Station
Hello!!
Do you know Showa Station? I think that those who know only the names are many. This week, I will introduce the role of Showa Station. I think that you should know Showa Station more. The people in Showa Station do many great things. I want you to know it!!
Showa Station is located at the edge of the Antarctic. The name of the base is derived from that Showa Station was built in "Showa" era.
First, I introduce the history. The history of Showa Station is also the history of the Japanese Antarctic almost intact. Originally, Japan was planning to make observations equator. However, the United States which have ownership of a planned territory did not allow, and Japan must switched to the Antarctic exploration. At first, the difficulty such as frozen observation instruments was followed by. Meanwhile, dog sledding was active as a means of transportation. But ,in winter of 1958, the observation team is determined that it can not exceed the winter, and the dogs were left behind. This fact became a movie. I introduced this movie in this blog before. Then the Showa Station have been developed.
At Syowa Station from 1970 through 1985, rocket was launched. The purpose is to measure ozone and auroral observation. 54 rocket was launched until now. I think maybe you did not know.
I think you were able to know a little about the Syowa Station. I'd like to recommend the site to you. It is "Showa Station Now!!". This site is an introduction to the current status of Syowa Station. If you look at this site, you can learn more about Antarctica. In this site, there are some pictures. And you can know the weather of Antarctic in this site.
Showa Station is very important for the study of Antarctica. As japanese, I want you to know Showa Station more. Next week, I am going to politics of Antarctic. I think that my blog will become progressively harder. But I want you to read this blog.
Thank you!!
