Antarctic ice station likely to float away
Monday, June 28, 2004

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Britain's Antarctic ice station has a design problem few architects can have envisaged when it was built -- within a decade it is likely to float away.

The existing base is built on an ice shelf which is likely to break off into the sea if global warming continues at its current rate.

So now the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has appealed for designers to come up with a replacement.
