Halley VI: Dropping in on the British Antarctic Survey
- versteegen 11y agoI was expecting this article to be about (or mention) the the huge crack in the Brunt ice shelf that's growing towards the base at 1.7km/year. By coincidence I was reading this article about it yesterday: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn28600-massive-crevasse-in-the-ice-forces-early-move-for-antarctic-base/ https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn28600-massive-crevass...
- Lio 11y agoThat is one cool looking research station. Halley VI reminds me of what I imagined the sled train in Neil Stephenson's Anathem would look like. I understand that the main purpose is so that they can move the station but I wonder how being on stilts effects the energy consumption of the station.
