There is more to Antarctica than just ice-cold winter days.

It’s also the windiest place on Earth. These conditions put extreme pressure on the applications used to survive in this part of the world, as well as on the bolted connections that keep these applications together.

In this harsh climate, fasteners must endure decades of temperatures as low as -60°C and winds of up to 88 kilometers per hour. Thanks to the reliability of Nord-Lock products, the lifetime of the Troll research station antenna systems has increased compared to earlier installations.
