Antarctica New Zealand has released a new, scaled-back plan for the redevelopment of Scott Base. The troubled project was paused last year after it failed to reached an agreement with its preferred main contractor. The redevelopment came with an initial price tag of 250 million dollars but has since blown out to 498 million. Antarctica New Zealand's board chair Leon Grice spoke to Corin Dann.
