Ice Station: the creation of Halley VI. Britains pioneering Antarctic research station - Zurich: Switzerland Park Books, 2015 - 96 p.; ill.: 25 cm.
ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE & DESIGN. Halley VI Research Station is the first fully re-locatable research station in the world. It was commissioned in 2006 and its unique and innovative structure was the result of an international design competition in collaboration with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). The research facility is segmented into eight modules, each sitting atop ski-fitted, hydraulic legs that can be individually raised to overcome snow accumulation and allowing the module being towed independently to a new location. Halley VI is designed by London-based Hugh Broughton Architects and AECOM, a US-based architecture and building engineering enterprise.
