So... what actual research is done? 82.24.155.138 01:09, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Anybody know why they called it the "Halley Research Station"? I was looking for more of its history here. 218.143.30.1 ( talk) 09:44, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Since most of Antarctica is desert, but evidently not here, snowfall figures should be given. Loren Rosen ( talk) 06:02, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
VI was 15 km from V, but how far was V built from IV, III, II and I. (III has already reached the sea) - Rod57 ( talk) 04:01, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
The article mentions that Halley IV once lost heat and power for 19 hours, but it doesn't describe the power source anywhere. What is it? Diesel engines? Gas turbines? I've found hints that "... Halley VI is powered by four 120kW combined heat and power (CHP) engines that run on aviation fuel ...", [1] i.e., cogeneration, located at each end of the station for safety and redundancy, but no details. — Quicksilver (Hydrargyrum) T @ 00:43, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
Halley V ran off three diesel generators running on avtur which is basically aviation grade kerosine (refined diesel). At any time one was running, was was ready to run and one was being serviced. The waste heat from these generators provided heat for the main accomodation building and kept it at a contstant temperature (although it below -45C ambient the indoor temperature tended to drop).

British Antarctic research station to shut for second winter as cracks in ice grow
Having changed location earlier this year to avoid being cut off, the Halley VI station will close again over fears that the ice shelf it stands on may break

We have good photos of Halley 6 and 5 but the article could really do with photos from earlier bases before they were buried.
I've reverted the removal of "better source" needed by tracking down the insert of the template to find out why it was inserted. Turns out the most prominent google results for the event linked either to climate denial sites or to Daily Mirror and the Sun. Go figure. My edit also reverts the other most recent changes as not an improvements. Regards, CapnZapp ( talk) 17:53, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
