Re: Antarctica's Fire History
Hi Alan - 44 in the summer at McMurdo seems more than pro-rata compared to the pole station, any idea why this is?
I'd have thought that the pole would be drier and at more fire risk, no sea-water to hand either. The base I was on Signy was right on the sea-shore and fire-drill consisted partially of getting the pump up and running to pump sea-water onto any potential fire.
