replies: text: As the article says, after the astronomer Edmond Halley, but I don't know the specific reason for the RGS choosing the name for an auroral observation base. It is probably significant that 1956 was the 300th anniversary of his birth! Finavon (talk) 17:47, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

text: I wintered there in 1998-1999 and I can say that snowfall is a tricky thing to measure. Windy times when the snow is being blown around are far more common than genuine local snowfall and even when it is snowing it tends to be windy.The total accumulation per year on flat land is well defined but if this is local snow or blown in it is impossible to determine. End result is 1-2m per year but it is impossible to distinguish between local precipitaion and wind blown snow. Mtpaley (talk) 22:20, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

message: 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 ...", 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)

message: 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

message: 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)
