UNSC Weather Station z/41

UNSC Weather Station z/41 is a United Nations Space Command weather research facility based in the Arctic or Antarctic[1] region. [2] It is involved in taking glacier core samples and has a Doppler Radar facility for taking wind speed measurements, and includes a platform for aerial transport. [3] Overhead, the Aurora Borealis[4] can be seen flickering through the sky.

The station seems to be an abandoned drilling platform converted for use as a weather station, located near an ice shelf in the Antarctic. It is divided into four "towers", labeled Maintenance, Communications, Barracks and Laboratory.

Trivia

  • The facility is the setting for the Halo 3: Legendary Map Pack map, Blackout. Although its predecessor in Halo 2, Lockout, was a facility created to study the Flood. This could lead to thoughts on how humans made something exactly similar to the Forerunner.
  • Blackout is not the first Halo 3 map that has a purpose. Others include Avalanche and Narrows.
