Redevelopment of Scott Base for Antarctica New Zealand
New Zealand has operated a permanent research base in Antarctica since 1957. The redevelopment of Scott Base will be arranged in three inter-connected, highly insulated, aerodynamic buildings which step down the hill of Pram Point on Ross Island. The buildings are offset from each other and elevated above ground to minimise snow drift. The base will provide accommodation for 100 people, support polar science for the next 50 years and minimise environmental impact. The interior design will foster well-being, reflecting Māori values and New Zealand’s history of involvement in Antarctica.
