Sure doesn’t look like any of the previous stations there that I’ve seen pictures of. I bet the red structure is where heat and power are generated.
Science and support teams from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) are gearing up for the start of the Antarctic summer field season. The first Twin Otter aircraft have arrived at Rothera Research Station, preparations are being made to reopen Halley Research Station, and the next construction phases of a major program to modernize Rothera and the islands stations are set to begin.
Teams of researchers from BAS, UK and US universities will be deployed across the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) for an ambitious series of deep-field research projects focused on past climate, future sea-level rise and the birth of the solar system.
