Halley Bay was a location on the fast ice on the north-western margin of the Brunt Ice Shelf in Coats Land, Antarctica. The series of British Halley Research Stations were constructed near here and named after the bay. The original ice bay was transitory and no longer exists although other bays in the same area keep reforming and breaking off as the shelf calves into icebergs. The location contains a 177 ha site which has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supported a breeding colony of about 22,500 emperor penguins (estimated from 2009 satellite imagery) although as of 2019 the colony has dispersed due to repeated failure of the sea ice. In addition to the recent seasonal failures of ice the Brunt Ice shelf is approaching a large calving eve

  • Halleybaai is een baai van de Weddellzee aan de kust van in Antarctica. Nabij de baai werd de Britse poolbasis gebouwd. Aan de baai bevindt zich een kleine kolonie van keizerspinguïns. Tot voor 2016 bevond zich hier de op een na grootste kolonie van keizerspinguïns op Antarctica met tienduizenden broedparen, maar deze geraakte verstrooid door het instabiele zee-ijs in de baai. (nl)

In addition to the recent seasonal failures of ice the Brunt Ice shelf is approaching a large calving event which will reshape this section of coast and leave the original location of Halley Bay many Km out at sea.
