The Alaska Arctic Shelter System is a series of structures specifically designed for the most extreme cold weather environments. A key element to the engineering of the Arctic Shelter System is the inclusion of anti-spindrift snow protection. Whether used for exploring, ice core drilling, sampling and surveying, covering equipment and supplies, creating living spaces; housing on an ice shelf with temperatures at -80°F, the Alaska Arctic Shelter System incorporates over 300 additional features from standard insulated structures to help protect against spindrift snow, insuring your shelter and its contents will be safe and secure.
No other camp provider and fabric building manufacturer has the experience and track record for providing their customers a fabric building or mobile camp solution that meets and exceeds their expectations in the Arctic and Antarctic environments like Alaska Structures.
Testimony regarding competitor's product WITH-OUT anti-spindrift system being used in Antarctica:
"...everything which was inside had a covering of snow about 3 inches thick. This was due to the small gaps where the tent roof meets the walls and spindrift snow gets absolutely everywhere."
