Logistics Arch, in the ice at the South Pole Station. These spaces are at a constant temperature of the surrounding ice, -49 C (-57 F). The arch was originally built at the surface level, but snow accumulation, primarily from drifting snow, has buried the arch, causing concerns for the structural integrity of these storage and work spaces.
