The mountains around Syowa Station 3

This is ‘Mount Suribati’.
During last summer’s helicopter operations I climbed this mountain.




すりばち山です。
夏のヘリオペの際に登りました。

At the base of ‘Mount Suribati’ there is a salt lake, named ‘Suribati Ike’ [pond].
It is 30m beneath sea level and has a much higher salt concentration than the sea.
I tasted the water, but it was very salty.

麓には「すりばち池」という塩湖があります。
海面より湖面が30mほど低く、塩分濃度も高いです。
なめてみたら非常に塩辛かった。

This photo shows one of two mummified seals I saw.
Maybe a long time ago this lake was connected to the sea.

なぜかアザラシのミイラが2体ほどありました。
昔は海と繋がっていたのでしょうか。

‘Mount Suribati’ is a rock mountain, only its south-eastern ridge is not steep.
As both the left-hand and right-hand sides are very steep, I had to be very careful in finding a route to climb.
The scenery from ‘Mount Suribati’ was very spectacular.
The peak you can see is ‘Skjegget Peak’.

ここも岩山で、唯一南東尾根の傾斜が緩いですが、左右が急峻なのでルートファインデイングに気を使います。
頂上からの景色はすばらしいの一語です。
シェッゲも見えます。

JARE 1 used dog sledges to travel to the ‘Botnnuten’ region to climb another mountain.
This mountain is called ‘Mount Inuyama’. [‘Dog Mountain’]
This time during last summer’s helicopter operations,
we climbed to the top of this mountain to install a GPS observation base.

今回は夏のヘリオペでGPS観測点の設置のために登りました。

This is a photo of the highest peak in the ‘Botnnuten’ region, which the JARE 1 members climbed.

We carried the heavy equipment up the steep snow slopes when we climbed.

Beneath the peak there was a rocky section.
