This facility introduces the achievements of Nobu Shirase, an adventurer who was the first Japanese to challenge Antarctic expedition in Nikaho City, Akita Prefecture. I knew about Akira Shirase, but for the first time I learned that I was from here. The very stylish conical building was designed by architect Noriaki Kurokawa. This facility is 300 yen (adult) for admission. Considering the fulfillment inside, it's a fairly cheap price. Atsushi Shirase's background and Antarctic exploration history ...

I visited Akira Shirase because my son didn't know it. A son who bites into the materials of the race to reach the Antarctic in the first zone after entering the museum. It seems that he immediately reviewed what he learned in the quiz beyond that. Good exhibition composition. It is a pity that the exhibition of meteorites in the back suddenly turns down with only academic explanations. The aurora video at the last Aurora Dome was beautiful.

I stopped by on the way from Mt. Chokai to the hotel. It costs 300 yen for adults, but the screening of the aurora (I wonder if the image quality was a little poor ...). I touched the meteorite for the first time and was surprised that it was so heavy that it looked different. About two kilograms. The one on display looked like a soccer ball, but it seems that it is more than 11 kilometers. "Snow car" that actually ran around Antarctica and worked. I was able to go inside and see it. Color 々 What I didn't know, I had a hard time ...

It's interesting to see it again.

I stopped by with my family. I've just come back when I was a kid and it's been a revisit for the first time in decades. When I read the exhibits of Color 々 carefully, I was full of surprises and discoveries. The hall is not large, so you can take a closer look around. It was interesting to actually touch the meteorite exhibits discovered in Antarctica and the ice of Antarctica.

I didn't know.

From Akita, drive to Chokai Sanso along the ７ line for the day. On the way, I stopped at Kinura Station. And the sign of Shirase Akira Memorial Hall is in your eyes. I decided to go in. I knew the story of the battle for the Antarctic, but I didn't know he was born here, and I knew his true face.
