Waste line (where we separated wastes and recyclables) near Destination Zulu. Also shows Wings B-4, A-1, and A-4 in the background. B-1 and B-4 are dormitory wings, A-1 is dormitory, emergency power plant, lounges, and survival. A-4 is the gymnasium. These pictures were all taken from the empty space between wings B-1 and B-4.

Note also the chamfered edges on the buildings, these help to allow the wind to blow under the buildings without causing a dead-spot which would result in the accumulation of the snow.
