The '''Battle of Ross Island''' was an engagement between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Covenant Empire]], and a part of the [[Battle of Earth]]. The Covenant, fighting a constant battle with the UNSC for control of the planet, deployed forces to [[Ross Island]], specifically [[Mount Erebus]] in the [[Antarctica]], in search for unknown [[Forerunner]] relics. The [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]], consisting of [[Frederic-104]], [[William-043]] and [[Linda-058]] were dispatched to neutralize the excavation with a [[HAVOK Nuclear Warhead]], in which they succeeded, ending the battle in a quick and easy UNSC victory.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', "chapter 23", ''page 203'' (''"They had then been dispatched to Mount Erebus in the Antarctic where they neutralized a Covenant excavation with a HAVOK tactical nuke."'')</ref>
