1967 the scientific team lived and worked in the old base of Halley I - awaiting the completion of Halley II sufficiently for them to move their instruments and equipment.     Metereologists carried out daily weather balloon flights - tracked by the radar WF1.

 Geophysicists carried measurements of ice and sky phenomena - such as measuring the amount of daylight each day. In winter an all-sky camera recorded the Aurorae.    Husky pups were kept and reared on the old base whilst their parents and older huskies were kept with their handlers at the new base.

As March and April approached the sun begins to dip below the horizon and nights start to draw in.     Time is spent indoors though everyday throughout the winter darkness the weather balloon flight and geophysics still have to continue.     The sun reappears - daylight returns and one of the first jobs is to dig the Site. Tthe tunnel connecting huts needs digging out.    The All-sky camera hut has to be dug out and brought back onto the surface.

As Spring approaches pastimes create some digressions and interest.  A landyacht  built from dexion  - unfortunately needing about 12-15 knots of wind to move it with the result that visibilty was too bad to use it.   A 45 gallon drum and dexion becomes a "steamroller??"  A model aircraft suffers a single flight.
