How to Build a Hotel in Antarctica
Thought running a business was hard? Try doing it on the White Continent.
Technically, the first step in building Wolf’s Fang Camp, a 12-person tented accommodation opening in November in the interior of Antarctica, happened over a decade ago: conjuring an airport in the middle of the wilderness with a runway paved into 100,000-year-old sheets of ice.
The next step was building a fueling station and cargo hold to store incoming lumber and building materials, all while scouting for locations near glacial lakes (for water supply), sheltered by rocks (to buffer winds), and with views to take your frosty breath away.
