The metallic phase in the Quantum Hall Regime is of fundamental importance not only in the theory of the Quantum Hall Effect but also in the field of disorder induced metal‐insulator (Anderson) transitions in general. We give a brief overview of some of the more advanced experimental studies of the critical aspects of this phase. We also propose a new generation of experiments, based on the idea of strong mesoscopic conductance fluctuations near criticality, which could possible resolve many of the outstanding experimental and theoretical questions which mostly relate to the nature of delocalization in strongly disordered systems.
