Tooling around the net I found this very interesting piece about Artic living and man-made enviroments. Hmmmm. After I looked them all over and read
about them I am convinced this is how we will colonize Space. I am sure NASA and other Space minded countried are involved in this stuff. The
article displays a blow-up of the jpeg image you are seeing for incredible sights: You won't be disappointed- I assure you. Almost makes one want to
become an Artic Scientist.... Dam cold though

Princess Elisabeth (Belgium)

The new Princess Elisabeth station is the delicate flower of
Antarctic buildings: small, beautiful, efficient, and blooming only in summer. Designed to be the first carbon-free facility on The Ice, the station
employs a sophisticated energy-management system that makes the most of the limited power generated by its 52-kilowatt solar array and 54-kilowatt
wind-turbine cluster. The station assigns a priority level to every piece of equipment and electric outlet in the building. Life-support systems and
research gear trump dishwashers and portable electronics. In other words, don’t plug in your iPod without asking the station’s brain
first.

Wait till you read a little about these thingers..... I like the UK one best. Just hook up some sails, maybe a little motor and you can ski along to
the next spot of interest.
