Don't take it too seriously, but I was wondering, how feasible would it be to set up a private mini-base on Antarctica? Aspects I am looking at are:
1. Legal - Would it be against any international treaty? - Other potential issues 2. Technical - Housing suitable for extreme weather conditions - Energy supply, constant and redundant and at hte same time not increasing pollution levels - Other potential issues 3. Medical - What to do in case of minor problems - Emergency rescue in case of major problems (surgery needed and such) - Requirements for all staff 4. Financial - Cost of building prefab-housing elements - Cost of all equipment - Cost of snowmobiles and other vehicles - Cost of food and fuel supplies - Cost of transport of all cargo to the final destination - Cost of airline tickets - Cost of achieving zero or near zero-polution - Other costs 5. Enviromental issues - How to achieve zero or near zero polution - Waste processing technologies 6. Anything else that can affect the mission in any way |
