Following one of the drumlines will take you to Creek 2, the nearest site where the ship can transfer cargo up onto the shelf. In this photo you can see vehicles parked at the top of the ramp before driving down onto the frozen sea ice. Halley is still visible in the top right of the picture 12 kilometres away.
