Default Antarctic telescope is interesting idea

Does anyone remember the Sky and Tel article from
many years ago where someone in the Antarctic
described trying to observe there? I remember
it talking about an obtrusive inversion layer
that hampered viewing.

I wonder what the cost of running a scope in that
place would be? Or could it be done via remote completely?
