Building buildings off the ground in Antarctica allows the katabatic winds, which are constant, to blow ice crystals under the building and this technique prevent snow drifts.
(Even though the snow drifts are fairly easy to shovel out -- there is very little humidity thus very little moisture in the snow ((it squeaks when you walk on it)) -- shoveling out the drifts does take time away from the work at hand.)

First, out of doors, separated from any buildings- or you will learn about termites. Firewood should be raised off the ground on skids or dunnage to prevent ground moisture from wicking up into the wood. The top of the wood may be covered by a surface to shed water, the sides should be exposed to permit sun and wind to dry, or "season" the wood. Do not wrap the entire wood pile in a tarp- it prevents evaporation.
