Halley Research Station

Halley Research Station is a research facility in Antarctica. Operated by the British Antarctic Survey, the base was established on the Brunt Ice Shelf in 1956 to study the Earth's atmosphere for the International Geophysical Year.

It was originally named Halley Bay Base, after the bay on which it was situated, which in turn was named after the astronomer Edmond Halley. The name was changed in 1977 as the original bay had disappeared because of changes in the ice shelf.
