And that's the season over. Halley has such a special place in my heart. It's so rare a glaciologist gets to be part of station life the way you do at Halley. A proper little family for three months. ❄️ Nowhere else quite like it! @bas.ac.uk

No better way to end the season than getting to play around in a dozer for the morning pushing snow! 🚜

A little bit of Sunday ice climbing in Antarctica in the sunniest wind scoop! 🧗🏼‍♀️

A beautiful blue sky day digging a big hole, visited by a Skua. Some last minute equipment servicing before the season ends

5 weeks later; 4 bore holes 1.5 tonnes of ice cores 64 seismometers 2 km of fibre optic 200 km of radar 11 GPS sites And lots of games of bridge... It's time to go home 😴

Picking up the seismometers after they've been deployed for 5 weeks, and this one had some little footprints from a curious Skua! I wonder if I'll see any pecking in the data 🐦

Every evening we sit and wait for a satellite call from Rothera to check our field team of four is all ok. This evening's call was accompanied by a slowly lowering sun on the horizon. The summer season slowly drawing to a close 🌅

Bang, bop, boop, bash, snow goes mush, do it again. The glamour of geophysics 🔨

A quick visit from Ollie and his twin otter and that's all our ice cores picked up and on their way to Halley!! Now just to let the seismometers do their thing for a few more days, and then home time!!

Four holes and four weeks later, and we are done drilling 😴

Warm, wet and windy! ft. My knitted hood I made a few seasons ago! 🧶

Bit of a blowy one today, so I think we'll stay inside 🌬️

A little visit today from a big red bird to take some of our ice cores away to Rothera!

Today we recovered a mega 2.4 m long core! Annoyingly we can't take it home this long as our ice core boxes are only 90 cm. So she had to get cut up 🪚!

Melt layers in the form from a warm summer in 2019 ☀️

All the team at the new site, with fresh firny core in hands. 8 m down... 100 m more!

Ice from the bottom of our first hole 130 m down! Now to pack up the tent and move to our next site and do it all over again.

When you go to measure an ice core, but it's actually a tiny, lost, Antarctic pigeon. Got to keep yourself busy whilst the winch goes up and down🧶🐦

Another beautiful blue sky day ☀️❄️

Who'd have thought it, a white Christmas??? Merry Christmas to all. I hope your days are also filled with dehy food and biscuits browns 🌲❄️☃️

Ice from 100 m down! A Christmas miracle! ☃️❄️

Bubbles from 80 m down. I wonder what was going on in the world when this ice formed on the continent thousands of years ago.

It wouldn't be a real science project if you didn't spend lots of time fixing equipment that seems to all have a death wish! A successful day none the less, more seismometers listening and more ice cores recovered!

First cores recovered! 30 m down in day one! Happy drill team!

Deploying seismometers out at Halloween Crack to try find out what the ice shelf is saying!

At least the delays mean I've had time to write my postcards! Let's see who makes it back to the UK first.. Antarctic post isn't the quickest!

RIFT-TIP traverse all packed and ready to head to Halloween crack... But then the fog came and said not today. Stand by to stand by.

A season photo before folks head off for the field and other destinations. 35 wonderful humans ❤️

A beautiful evening for a chilly run ❄️ 24 hour daylight never gets old, definitely not missing the dark winter nights at home 🌑

Let's go fly a kite 🪁

Halley Research Station is open! Kicking the Antarctic summer science season off in style, the occasion was marked by raising the flag - traditionally done by the youngest team member (this year, Fin did the honours). It looks like a glorious sunny day on the vast Brunt Ice Shelf ☀️ 📸 Iain Gordon
