'Ice Highway' To Open Earth's Last Frontier

Posted by timothy on from the antarctica-for-the-antarcticans-I-say dept.

JayBonci writes "CNN is carrying a story on an Ice Highway to make it easier to access the South Pole. The 1,020 mile "highway" may be completed as soon as 2006. Because of the nature of the ever-shifting ice, maintenance is going to be difficult to say the least, but it will provide greater access to the region for supplies and scientists."
