Futuristic Belgian Station To Be Built in Antarctica

Belgium’s Antarctic research station a global sustainability benchmark

“The International Polar Foundation (IPF) unveiled today the final plans for Belgium’s Princess Elisabeth Antarctic research station, to be built during the International Polar Year 2007-08 (IPY). The station will enable Belgium, and other nations participating in its science program, to carry out important research on climate change and Antarctica’s key role as part of the global climate system. This research will contribute to the massive international scientific effort scheduled for the IPY.”
