BGB to Antarctica

Known affectionately as the "Big Green Box", FDL manufactured this composite living module for Scott Base, New Zealand’s Antarctic research station. This is the first mobile habitat in a new, more durable construction design that is being trialed by research institute Antarctica New Zealand. The self-contained living unit is designed to withstand the extreme environment, which can experience conditions of 200 kilometers per hour winds and 60°C temperatures. Strength, rigidity and insulation were all taken into consideration for the design.
