Please note the following clarifications to this video:

1. The wind deflector along the whole southern length of the roof deflects the wind (predominant wind direction from NE) over the southern wall elevation to scour snow away from the immediate footprint of the building.
2. Though the BAS station at Rothera is referred to as a base, it is in fact a station.
3. The Discovery Building has 76 anchors and is oriented along its longest length from east to west.
4. The Discovery Building will open in April 2025.

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is a non-political organisation championing polar science and operations, addressing issues of global importance and helping society adapt to a changing world. Their inclusion within this documentary is to illustrate their incredible efforts in building scientific support facilities in Antarctica with sustainability in mind. The commentary in this film on issues other than the promotion and support of polar science do not represent the views of the BAS. BAS has no connection with the video sponsor Masterworks.
