Halley Research Station, run by the British Antarctic Survey, is located on the Brunt Ice Shelf floating on the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. A design competition was launched by the Royal Institute of British Architects and the British Antarctic Survey in June 2004 for Halley VI which was won by Faber Maunsell and Hugh Broughton Architects. Halley VI is a structure which is jacked up on legs to keep it above the accumulation of snow with skis on the bottom of these legs, which allows the building to be relocated periodically.
