Inside the Arctic Outpost compound, there is an observation tower, seven stories high. The top level is the observation room, equipped with a high-powered telescope used by border guards for patrol and surveillance duties. In peacetime, this site also became one of the first places for tourists to enjoy views of the foreign landscape.
To the east of the observation tower are the soldiers' barracks and solar panels, which provide electricity for the entire outpost. To the west is the "Meeting Station."
