A Local Tour
A set of pictures showing some features of the Brunt Ice Shelf (where Halley is located), from the base perimeter to the Hinge Zone 40 kilometres away.
A circle of used fuel drums circles the base, marking its outer perimeter. Beyond here all travel must either follow one of the marked drum lines or be completed in linked pairs because of the danger of crevasses. Photo by Mike Rooney.
