Snowmobiles carry rubbish from Antarctic base to icebreaker
SHOWA BASE, Antarctica - Two snowmobiles, carrying discarded machinery and other rubbish from Japan's Showa Base in Antarctica, head toward the icebreaker Shirase on Jan. 3. The Shirase will bring the trash back to Japan. In 1998, a previous Japanese expedition team to Antarctica begun hauling away old electric generators, scrapped construction materials and other discarded items left behind by previous expeditions. The photo was taken by a journalist included in the current Japanese expedition team.
