Antarctic book launch – Igloo Ripples
November 2022 marks the 40th anniversary of the Australian Antarctic Division’s first order for a fibreglass Igloo from the late Malcolm Wallhead, original designer and manufacturer. Dubbed the ‘Apple Hut’ because it was ‘round, red and made in Tasmania’, these pre-fabricated, insulated fibreglass cabins have been purchased by polar institutes and other organisations in 18 countries, mostly for use in Antarctica.
