UNSC Weather Station Z/41

UNSC Weather Station Z/41 is a United Nations Space Command weather research facility based in the Arctic region.http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=H3LegendaryMapPack 
==Background==
It is involved in taking glacier core samples and has a Doppler Radar facility for taking wind speed measurements, and includes a platform for aerial transport.http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13413 Overhead, the Aurora Borealis can be seen flickering through the sky.http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=H3LegendaryMapPack
The station seems to be an abandoned drilling platform converted for use as a weather station, located near an ice shelf. It is divided into four "towers," labeled Maintenance, Communications, Barracks and Laboratory.
==Trivia==
*The facility is the setting for the Halo 3: Legendary map pack map, Blackout. Although its predecessor in Halo 2, Lockout, was a facility created to study the Flood. This could lead to thoughts on how humans made something exactly similar to the Forerunner, especially considering its impractical (for humans) designs.
*Bungie tasked the fans with coming up for a back story for Blackout and Z/41.
*This is the setting for the machinima "Forecast: the Series"
