Halley Research Station
Halley Research Station, run by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), is located on the Brunt Ice Shelf floating on the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. Unique to its remote location is the fact the station is on top of ice in the sea, versus being located on solid land on the continent of Antarctica. Because the area is constantly moving, the ice will calve off, creating an iceberg that breaks off.
