| The '''Battle of Ross Island''' was an engagement between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] that took place during 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 [[Antarctica]], in search for [[Forerunner]] relics. [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[Blue Team]], consisting of [[Frederic-104]], [[William-043]] and [[Linda-058]], were dispatched to neutralize the excavation with a [[HAVOK Tactical Nuclear Weapon]]. The SPARTANs succeeded, ending the battle in a UNSC victory.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''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>
