Halley is the UK’s most southerly Antarctic research station, located on a wind swept, freezing, floating ice shelf. Highly insulated steel framed GRP clad modules are used for laboratories, operational areas, bedrooms and energy centres. The red module provides the social heart of the new station. Inspiring interior design provides an uplifting environment to sustain the crew through the long dark winters. Modules are supported on giant steel skis and hydraulically driven legs that allow the station to mechanically ‘climb’ up out of the rising snow.
