British Antarctic Survey, 1976–77
Six main British Antarctic Survey stations were occupied throughout the year. Of these, Adelaide air base on Adelaide Island was closed down at the end of the summer, as it has been replaced by a new station, Rothera, 64 km to the north–east. A snow runway near the new site had been brought into use...
