Halley Research Station
Halley Research Station, run by the British Antarctic Survey, is located on the Brunt Ice Shelf floating on the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. It is a British research facility〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=British Antarctic Survey )〕 dedicated to the study of the Earth's atmosphere. Measurements from Halley led to the discovery of the ozone hole in 1985.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=British Antarctic Survey )〕
==History==
Halley was founded in 1956, for the International Geophysical Year of 1957-58, by an expedition from the Royal Society. The bay where the expedition decided to set up their base was named Halley Bay, after the astronomer Edmond Halley. The name was changed to Halley in 1977 as the original bay had disappeared due to changes in the ice shelf. The latest station, Halley VI, was officially opened in February 2013 after a test winter.
On 30 July 2014, the station lost its electrical and heating supply for 19 hours.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Power-down at British Antarctic Survey Halley Research Station )〕 During the outage, there were record low temperatures. Power was partially restored, but all science activities, apart from meteorological observations essential for weather forecasting, were suspended.〔 Plans were made to abandon some of the eight modules and to shelter in the remaining few.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.cfact.org/2014/08/07/british-antartctic-survey-trapped-without-power-during-record-cold-55-4-c/ )〕
