Interesting! Why only 10 months a year? Is this due to the weather or maintenance work?
I'm just wondering if the stilts are so thin so that the cold doesn't get into the building so easily? And adjustable so you can compensate for ice movements?
Most stations operate in the summer and have just a maintenance crew in the winter. There was this Navy guy I remember taking there for the maintenance crew 4 times and I asked him why does he do it over and over. He told me it is mainly just one big party with a little work and back then women had very few places they could go to get their "combat time" and that was one of them, so the ratio was extremely good for men that went there.

It's getting pretty crowded down there.
Hope it doesn't capsize, like Guam.
