HALLEY AT LAST!

Sorry I haven't posted anything for so long it's been a hectic couple of weeks...

Having survived nine weeks aboard the ship, I made it to Halley at last. On new years day a big red plane on skis whisked me up to the base where I was greeted by a shiny skidoo, and towed along behind to my new home on stilts.

Here's a taster of my new home... (more news of what I've been up to soon, I promise!)

This is where I live: The Laws platform.

My new office: The Simpson Platform.

This is me on my way to work, enjoying the sunshine and

Dave hard at work measuring ozone levels with the Dobson Spectrometer, we do this several times a day. These measurements have been done here since the 1950's and helped us spot the ozone hole.
