AkaSci 🛰️<p>The Halley VIa Research Station operated by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is located on the Brunt Ice Shelf as shown in the map below. It used to sit on the A-81 iceberg area as seen in the map above and was moved to its current location in 2016 before A-81 broke loose.</p><p>BAS notes that this A-83 calving was expected, the ice shelf is stable and they don’t expect a response to this new event.</p><p><a href="https://www.bas.ac.uk/media-post/brunt-ice-shelf-in-antarctica-calves-new-iceberg/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bas.ac.uk/media-post/brunt-ice</span><span class="invisible">-shelf-in-antarctica-calves-new-iceberg/</span></a><br><a href="https://www.bas.ac.uk/polar-operations/sites-and-facilities/facility/halley/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bas.ac.uk/polar-operations/sit</span><span class="invisible">es-and-facilities/facility/halley/</span></a><br><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/A83" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>A83</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Halley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Halley</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Antarctic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Antarctic</span></a><br>2/n</p>
