NZ, Korea team up to dig in Antarctica

By: James Williams | World News | Wednesday May 16 2012 10:52

 

New Zealand and Korea are teaming up to go digging in Antarctica.

A new collaborative research effort is poised to start and a $90 million state of the art station's being built by Japan at Terra Nova Bay.

The New Zealand Government's given $174,000 to the three year project.

But Canterbury University's Gateway Antarctica Director, Professor Bryan Storey, says Korea's increased its expenditure from US$10 million to US$60 million over the past five years.

He says it's aiming to become a very significant Antarctic research nation.
