http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/natu … stm]Design wanted for Antarctic base
The complex must be self-sufficient, have minimal impact on the pristine Antarctic environment and house instruments for BAS's research into the environment and climate change.
The base's residents - among them scientists, engineers, carpenters and chefs - must be given comfortable living quarters, a kitchen, restaurant, library and rest areas to escape the 80mph gusts of wind outside.
"These are like mini-cities in microcosm, they have to be self-contained," said Prof Rapley.
Sounds like a little martian colony to me. It will be interesting to see what the final design will be like.
Maybe the mars society should submit a design based the Mars Direct Hab designs? Who designed them anyway?
