Battle of Ross Island

The Battle of Ross Island was an engagement between the United Nations Space Command and the 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 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.^[1]
