Product Details
For those personnel performing extended winter service in Antarctica, a "Wintered Over" Device is authorized. The "Wintered Over" bar is only worn on the full-size medal's suspension ribbon. The smaller "disc" device is worn on the uniform ribbon to recognize this service.
The Wintered Over Device is bestowed to indicate the number of winters served on the Antarctica continent. The device is worn as a disk on the award ribbon and is issued in bronze for one winter service, gold for two, and silver for three or more winters of service. On the full sized medal a clasp is worn, issued in the same degree, inscribed with the words "Wintered Over".
