A major international competition to design a new scientific research station at one of the Earth's most extreme environments - Antarctica - is launched this week by British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the Royal Institute of British Architects RIBA . Located 10,000 miles from the UK on a 150 m thick floating ice shelf, the new complex will be self-sufficient, able to withstand freezing winter temperatures of around -30?C and have minimal environmental impact on Antarctica's pristine environment.
