Impossible Engineering
Antarctica Ice Base
The Halley VI Research Centre is situated on a floating ice shelf 1400km from the South Pole. It is the world's most weather-resistant building, and an engineering sensation. The state-of-the-art research facility is segmented into eight modules, each sitting atop ski-fitted, hydraulic legs. These can be individually raised to overcome snow accumulation and towed independently to a new location. It is clad in pioneering glass-reinforced plastic to resist extreme cold - an engineering first.
