Location

Summit Camp is located on the Greenland Ice Cap. The camp consists of a variety of structures. The Big House is a 26'W x 56'L building that serves the center of camp activity for the summer season. It serves as the summer kitchen, dining hall, office, and houses a complete bathroom and laundry facility. The generator module supplies power to the camp and includes a snow melter for water production. The Green House facility consists of two 8-foot wide stand-alone modules with a 16-foot connecting link between them. One unit serves as a laboratory, the other as a second kitchen (primarily used for cooking during the winter) and bath unit, with the center structure housing a common area and winter berthing. Additionally, a science Weatherport and a shop Weatherport are available.
