    Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 116 NEW COLLEGE VALLEY, CAUGHLEY BEACH, CAPE BIRD, ROSS ISLAND

    Management Plan For Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 116 NEW COLLEGE VALLEY, CAUGHLEY BEACH, CAPE BIRD, ROSS ISLAND 1. Description of values to be protected In 1985, two areas at Cape Bird, Ross Island were designated as SSSI No. 10, Caughley Beach (Recommendation XIII-8 (1985)) and SPA No. 20, New College Valley (Recommendation XIII-12 (1985)), following proposals by New Zealand that these areas should be protected because they contained some of the richest stands of moss and associated microflora and fauna in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica. This is the only area on Ross Island where protection is specifically given to plant assemblages and associated ecosystems. At that time, SPA No. 20 was enclosed within SSSI No. 10, in order to provide more stringent access conditions to that part of the Area. In 2000, SSSI No. 10 was incorporated with SPA No. 20 by Measure 1 (2000), with the former area covered by SPA No. 20 becoming a Restricted Zone within the revised SPA No. 20. The boundaries of the Area were revised from the boundaries in the original recommendations, in view of improved mapping and to follow more closely the ridges enclosing the catchment of New College Valley. Caughley Beach itself was adjacent to, but never a part of, the original Area, and for this reason the entire Area was renamed as New College Valley, which was within both of the original sites. The Area was redesignated by Decision 1 (2002) as Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No. 116 and a revised Management Plan was adopted through Measure 1 (2006).

SUMMARY: This paper describes the conceptual framework of the Latitudinal Gradient Project that is being implemented by the New Zealand, Italian and United States Antarctic programmes along Victoria Land, Antarctica, from 72°S to 86°S. The purpose of this interdisciplinary research project is to assess the dynamics and coupling of marine and terrestrial ecosys­ tems in relation to global climate variability. Preliminary data about the research cruises from the R/V "Italica" and R/V "Tangaroa" along the Victoria Land Coast in 2004 are presented. As a global climate barometer, this research along Victo­ ria Land provides a unique framework for assessing latitudinal shifts in 'sentinel' environmental transition zones, where cli­ mate changes have an amplified impact on the phases of water. Keywords: Latitudinal Gradient Project, Victoria Land, Antarctic, global climate change, interdisciplinary cooperation.

    Published during the austral summer at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, for the United States Antarctic Program January 16, 2005 Bye plane Russians retrieve their plane By Kristan Hutchison Sun staff Russia sent a big plane to pick up the little one this week. Artur Chilingarov, Deputy chairman of the Russian State Duma, returned to Antarctica to retrieve the biplane he had left there three years ago. He came with a group of mechanics and media on an Ilyushin 76 cargo plane, under the auspices of the Russian polar program. “We were sorry we couldn’t return the same year,” Chilingarov said through an interpreter. Chilingarov had been aboard the Antonov 3T biplane when it originally flew from Patriot Hills to South Pole in January 2002. After landing at the Pole, the biplane had a problem when the pilot tried to restart it and had to be left behind. Chilingarov was waiting at Pegasus ice runway when the biplane landed Tuesday after its 6 1/2 hour flight from the Pole. A strong tailwind helped the plane during the flight, allowing it to complete the journey without refueling. The Antonov 3T biplane landed at McMurdo the same way it originally had at the South Pole, show- ing off first by circling the runway and tipping its wings Photo by Kristan Hutchison / The Antarctic Sun at the small cluster of watchers below. Politician and polar explorer Artur Chilingarov, center, welcomes the pilot of the After celebratory hugs and photos, the Russian Antonov 3T biplane after its flight from South Pole to McMurdo Station while Michael See Biplane on page 10 Orkin, from the independent Russian station NTV, films the moment.
