Series: Halley VI

Halley, the Final Chapter

Over the last three weeks its been all action at Halley to get the base finally finished so that the 14 winterers are able to stay in the base.

The season is moving on and there are only four weeks to go before we have to leave on the ship...

With the weeks seeming to flash by here at Halley, even Christmas was over fairly quickly...

Over the last couple of weeks the main topic of conversation here at Halley has been food ... do I forsee a Roman style banquet?

Today I was lucky enough to travel the 40kms to Windy Bay where there is an Emperor Penguin colony...

The work at Halley 6 is progressing and we are told that everything is on schedule!

The highlight of this week was on Thursday when we got up early (5am) for a partial eclipse of the sun...

Well, after quite a few hours travelling, I finally arrived at Halley at 9am last Wednesday...

A week to go before I head south for the Antarctic summer season
