Our excursion on this very grey and chilly morning was to Damoy Point - where British Antarctic Survey established Damoy Hut in November 1975 as a summer transit station to support the airstrip on Damoy Point. It was used as such until 1994.
The Hut and storage shed accommodated personnel and stores arriving by ship until they could be flown south to the Rothera Research Station on Adelaide Island. This facilitated fieldwork to begin early summer
