Geocache Description:


The final stage of this cache is not hidden at the published coordinates. To calculate the final coordinates please read the plaque and sign at the Antarctica Expedition Memorial and gather clues from the surrounding park. The monument plaque is in Japanese but the English translation booklet at the first stage will help out those who can't read Japanese. There non-language related clues at the second stage so it is not possible to read the English booklet and then go directly to the final stage.
