Tractor parked in front of the Raid caravan. Two technicians hug each other. The Raid supplies the resort 2 or 3 times each summer. A one-way trip represents a distance of 1,200km, an altitude difference of 3,200m, and a driving time of 10 days at a rate of 12 hours per day. Each arrival of the Raid team at Concordia is a moment of joy and celebration. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.

A technician at the foot of the station holds a large evacuation sock into which a person is lowered. Once a month, all the staff carry out an emergency evacuation of the station using a ?sock?. The idea is to let yourself slide down a tube of fabric that slows your fall to such an extent that you can even stop yourself by spreading your arms and legs. A technician is waiting for us at the bottom to assist with the last metre of the descent. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.

A technician rides an electric bike on the snow, passing a container and crates on the ground. A technician uses an electric fatbike to get to the summer camp area from the station. Immediately after arriving, he removes the electric battery and deposits it in the nearest building where the temperature is positive. If he forgets the battery outside, he will have to push the bike on the way back because the intense cold will have drained the battery.

The two towers of the Concordia station, with the French, Italian and European flags flying in the wind, under a blue sky veiled with cirrus clouds aligned in the direction of the wind. The two towers are linked by a tunnel. They are permanently heated to 20°C by the diesel engine that generates the station's electricity. The left tower is the "quiet tower", housing the hospital, bedrooms;34 beds) and offices. The right tower is the "noisy tower": it houses a small workshop, the emergency generator, the waste room, the technical office, the video room, the living room, the kitchens and the refectory. The two towers are about ten meters apart to prevent the risk of fire spreading. Fire is an Antarctic expeditionary's worst nightmare; the French have a very bad experience of it.

A technician goes into a raised square building on an orange metal structure. An Italian technician specialising in radio and telecommunications goes into the shelter that houses the VSAT antenna, the device that connects the station to the Internet by satellite. This is the station's only link with the outside world. Most of the buildings are elevated to prevent the formation of snowdrifts caused by wind-blown snow.

Building made of containers lined up in a row, powered by pipes and electric cables. The summer camp is made up of containers assembled together. It was built in the early 1990s. Since then, irregular ground settlement has caused the building to deform. It is now used as a summer dormitory. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.

Snowdrift in front of a tent. A dormitory tent dating from the 1990s and still in use. It is heated by a small oil-fired stove. Every obstacle in the wind creates snowdrifts, which have to be removed periodically to prevent burial. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.
