Corrosion monitoring activities have reportedly been underway (out of the general public eye, one suspects) in a uniquely remote and hostile building location, the historic site of Mawson's Huts* in the Australian Antarctic Territory. Think (and shudder) ... the cold and wind when exposed around latitude 67º South ... 

The monitoring equipment is used in an effort to better understand the deterioration processes affecting the historic buildings and artifacts, dating back to the historic Antarctic expedition led by Sir Douglas Mawson in 1912. Variables monitored include temperature, humidity, steel corrosion and salt deposition. Reportedly, these measurements have exposed, "as a myth", that biodeterioration and corrosion are insignificant under these deep-freeze condition (while noting that insect and fungal damage is retarded). (Editor's notes: a) who can blame the insects and b) corrosion monitoring programs have a tendency to expose myths and fantasies.)
