It took two months to reassemble it by hand. Some say its log construction is likely to grow iron-strong with the years. There are steel chains inside that anchor the church against the savage Antarctic...

What a lovely church! I am VERY glad to see Orthodox Christianity represented in the Antarctic.
this report is so interesting, it has 'made my day' in fact, thank you for such an excellent and heartwarming article! well done!
My father Nicolai Zherebtsov was on board the ship "Ob" in 1958 and was in Antarctica. Please, recall his name in the church. He died in 1992. God bless you.
Irina, I did it, as you asked.
Thanks all for kind words!
