Antarctica airport plan criticised by environmentalists

Antarctica airport plan criticised by environmentalists
Environmental scientists have criticised Australian plans to build a new airport and 2.7km runway in Antarctica.
Due to weather conditions, flights from Australia to Antarctica are currently only possible at the beginning and end of summer.
The proposed airport - located at the Vestfold Hills in Princess Elizabeth Land - would provide year-long access for scientists and emergency teams to Davis research station, Australia’s most southerly base in Antarctica.
However environmental concerns have been raised, with the scheme likely to involve blasting petrel rookeries, disturbing penguin colonies and encasing a stretch of the wilderness in more than 115,000t of concrete. ....

The Australian government has put a highly unusual project out for competitive tender. The proposed project would be the construction of a 2.7 kilometer paved runway and associated infrastructure at the Vestfold Hills in Princess Elizabeth Land, Antarctica, with the aim of servicing Australia’s three permanent scientific research stations on the continent. The proposed runway would be designed to accommodate large aircraft capable of making the six hour flight from Australia, forming the central component to Canberra’s 2016 Antarctic Strategy and 20 Year Action Plan. However, the project remains controversial due to both its potential environmental impact on the region, as well as major geopolitical concerns. ....

'A real bad precedent': Australia criticised for Antarctica airport plan

Australia is planning to build Antarctica’s biggest infrastructure project: a new airport and runway that would increase the human footprint in the world’s greatest wilderness by an estimated 40%.
The mega-scheme is likely to involve blasting petrel rookeries, disturbing penguin colonies and encasing a stretch of the wilderness in more than 115,000 tonnes of concrete.
The government in Canberra says the project on the Vestfold Hills of Princess Elizabeth Land is necessary to provide year-round access for scientists and emergency teams to Davis research station, Australia’s most southerly base in Antarctica. Strategic concerns are also a consideration; Australia is keen to counter China’s growing presence on the frozen southern continent. ....
