Depot route tracks
Description
During iSTAR research depot routes were used to transport cargo and necessary instruments from their first port of call (e.g. V111 or Skyblu) to their required locations.
These initial routes were used to transport the traverse infrastructure ( e.g.caboose, piston bullies) from the research vessels as well as the current stations within Antarctica such as Sky-Blu.
