DESCRIPTION:Antarctica is remote\, hostile and uninhabited and hugely impo
 rtant for understanding our planet. For the scientists who work in Antarct
 ica\, engineering and technology is essential for addressing scientific ch
 allenges\, but even living and working safely in Antarctica is demanding u
 pon the people and the engineering and systems that maintain them. This ta
 lk will give an overview of the importance of Antarctica and the engineeri
 ng challenges to those who work there.  The design of the new research sta
 tion Halley VI will be discussed as will autonomous scientific instruments
  that operate in the vast areas away from the manned research stations.
