ANTARTICO, ELEPHANT ISLAND E FALKLAND Viaggio in Argentina 4Winds Tour Operator 21/22 - ANTARTICO, ELEPHANT ISLAND E FALKLAND Viaggio in Argentina IN BREVE: L'itinerario è studiato proprio per gli amanti di questa particolare attività. Le zone di popolamento e riproduzione di gran parte della fauna avicola dell'emisfero australe e del continente antartico sono il punto di riferimento di questa crociera che solcando i mari del sud si spingerà fin lungo la Penisola Antartica per poi risalire verso nord passando per le Elephant Islands e poi per le Falkland prima di terminare l'itinerario a Puerto Madryn. IN ITINERARIO: Antartide, Ushuaia, Canale Di Beagle, Isole Falkland, Steeple Jason Island, Carcass Island, Saunders Island, Stanley, South Georgia, Godthul, Cobblers Cove, Gold Harbour, Drygalski Fjord, Larsen Harbour, Cooper Bay, Bay St. Andrews, Possession Bay, Right Whale Bay, Elsehul,zavodovski Island, Candlemas Island, Sounders Island, Montagu Island, Southern Thule DATE DI PARTENZA: Mar: 13 4Winds Tour operator | 06.7024406 | [email protected] - Pagina 1 di 6 4Winds Tour Operator PROGRAMMA DI VIAGGIO: mappa: 1°giorno: (in volo) Ushuaia (in barca) Arrivo a Ushuaia, capoluogo della Terra del Fuoco, la città più australe del mondo. Nel pomeriggio imbarco sulla Nave da crociera e inizio della navigazione. Per il resto della serata navigazione nel suggestivo Canale di Beagle. 2°/3°giorno: (in barca) Navigazione nello Stretto di Drake (in barca) Durante queste due giornate si navigherà lungo i 1000 chilometri circa di oceano aperto conosciuti come Stretto di Drake, che mette in comunicazione gli oceani Atlantico e Pacifico. Un tratto di mare privo di terre emerse e spesso burrascoso dove non sono previsti sbarchi né escursioni, ma sarete accompagnati dal volo di albatros, procellarie ed altri uccelli marini. All'approssimarsi delle Isole Shetland si potranno avvistare i primi Iceberg. 4°/6°giorno: (in barca) In vista della Penisola Antartica (in barca) Picchi di pietra grigia disegnati tra la neve, torri di ghiaccio bianco-azzurro galleggianti e fauna selvatica notevolmente diversa sotto e sopra la nave. Per prima cosa si transita alle isole Melchior innevate e lungo il canale Schollaert, navigando tra le isole Brabant e Anvers. I siti per le escursioni possono includere: Livingston Island: qui si può trovare un'ampia varietà di pinguini gentoo e sottogola a Hannah Point, oltre a procellarie giganti del sud e elefanti marini che si trascinano sulla spiaggia. Cuverville Island: una piccola isola scoscesa situata tra le montagne della penisola antartica e l'isola di Rongé, Cuverville ospita una grande colonia di pinguini gentoo e coppie riproduttive di skua marroni. Danco Island: qui le attività si concentrano sull'osservazione dei pinguini gentoo che nidificano sull'isola, oltre alle foche 4Winds Tour operator | 06.7024406 | [email protected] - Pagina 2 di 6 4Winds Tour Operator di Weddell e alla foca crabeater che si trovano nelle vicinanze. Neko Harbour: un paesaggio epico di giganteschi ghiacciai e infinita neve intagliata dal vento, Neko Harbour offre opportunità per uno sbarco con gli Zodiac e di viste più vicine delle cime alpine circostanti. Paradise Bay: ottima località per una escursione con lo Zodiac in queste acque tentacolari e ghiacciate, dove ci sono buone probabilità di incontrare balene minke. Proseguimento verso il Mare di Weddell attraverso l'Antarctic Sound. Qui gli enormi iceberg annunciano l' arrivo sul lato orientale della penisola antartica. 7°giorno: (in barca) Elephant Islands (in barca) Si è completato più o meno lo stesso percorso (anche se nella direzione opposta) di Sir Ernest Shackleton che utilizzò una piccola barca di salvataggio, il James Caird, nella primavera del 1916 allo scopo di salvare 22 naufraghi della sua spedizione imperiale trans-antartica, nota anche come Endurance Expedition, rimasti bloccati sulla Elephant Island. Le condizioni climatiche e del mare a Elephant Island sono spesso gravi. La linea costiera è costituita principalmente da scogliere verticali di roccia e ghiaccio altamente esposte alle intemperie. Se possibile, si sbarcherà con gli Zodiac a Point Wild, dove i membri abbandonati della spedizione di Shackleton riuscirono miracolosamente a sopravvivere. 8°/9°giorno: (in barca) Navigazione verso le Falkland (in barca) Anche se in mare, in rotta verso le Isole Falkland, raramente c'è un momento di solitudine: diverse specie di uccelli seguono la nave nella sua rotta, come albatros, procellarie delle tempeste, berte e procellarie subacquee. 10°/11°giorno: (in barca) Isole Falkland (in barca) Le Isole Falkland offrono un'abbondanza di fauna selvatica il cui accesso alla osservazione risulta facilmente (ma con cautela) accessibile. Queste isole sono gemme in gran parte sconosciute, ricordate principalmente per la guerra tra il Regno Unito e l'Argentina del 1982. Non solo qui vivono varie specie di uccelli, ma è molto probabile che si potranno osservare diverse specie di delfini. Durante questa parte del viaggio si potranno visitare i seguenti siti: New Island, Coffin's Harbour: questa località offre una ragionevole passeggiata dal sito di sbarco alla New Island South Wildlife Reserve, che permette l'osservazione di albatri dai sopraccigli neri e pinguini saltaroccia. Un'escursione più faticosa a Landsend Bluff potrebbe anche mostrarti alcune foche sudamericane. Il sito dell'unica stazione baleniera terrestre delle Isole Falkland si trova a sud della spiaggia dello sbarco. Carcass Island: nonostante il nome, quest'isola è piacevolmente priva di roditori e quindi ricca di avifauna. Qui vive di tutto, dai pinguini di magellano e gentoo a numerosi trampolieri e uccelli passeriformi. Saunders Island: qui si può osservare l'albatro dalle sopracciglia nere e i suoi atterraggi a volte goffi, insieme alle colonie di marangone dal ciuffo e pinguini rockhopper. Qui si trovano anche pinguini reali, pinguini di magellano e pinguini gentoo. Steeple Jason: sede della più grande colonia di albatros dai sopraccigli neri del mondo (circa 113.000 esemplari). Steeple Jason è un'isola selvaggia e raramente visitata, colpita dal vento e dalle mareggiate. 12°giorno: (in barca) Navigazione (in barca) Il viaggio di rientro è tutt'altro che solitario. Durante la navigazione verso Puerto Madryn, sarai sempre accompagnato dalla vasta schiera di uccelli marini conosciuti dal passaggio a sud. 4Winds Tour operator | 06.7024406 | [email protected] - Pagina 3 di 6 4Winds Tour Operator 13°giorno: (in barca) Puerto Maryn (in barca) Ogni avventura, non importa quanto grandiosa, alla fine deve finire. È ora di sbarcare a Puerto Madryn, ma con ricordi che ti accompagneranno ovunque si trovi la tua prossima avventura. 4Winds Tour operator | 06.7024406 | [email protected] - Pagina 4 di 6 4Winds Tour Operator DETTAGLI Incluso: il viaggio a bordo della nave specificata per ogni itinerario; tutti i pasti a bordo inclusi snack, caffè e tea; tutte le escursioni in gommone e le visite descritte nel programma ; assistenza di un capo spedizione, esperto naturalista; oneri, tasse portuali e di imbarco. Non Incluso: qualsiasi passaggio aereo, i pernottamenti prima e dopo la crociera, i trasferimenti da e per gli aeroporti, l’ottenimento del visto consolare se necessario, tasse aeroportuali e governative, copertura assicurativa personale, del bagaglio e contro la cancellazione (raccomandata!!), pasti a terra, mance ed extra personali come bevande, telefono, bar, lavanderia …. Imbarco e sbarco crociera: Ushuaia/Puerto Madryn Note: Le Crociere Polari di Ocean Wide Expeditions hanno un’impostazione marcatamente scientifica e naturalistica e sono appositamente studiate per usufruire delle lunghissime giornate di luce dell’estate antartica e per approfittare della minore estensione della calotta polare. Includono la pensione completa e le escursioni (in media due al giorno). Gli scafi delle agili navi da ricerca e dei velieri e le moderne apparecchiature di bordo, consentono una tranquilla e sicura navigazione attraverso i ghiacci. Le frequenti escursioni in gommone, permettono con l’assistenza di preparati accompagnatori, di prendere terra nelle più remote e meno esplorate regioni del sud del pianeta, per esplorare e osservare liberamente la sorprendente e selvaggia vita e la natura polare. Ogni crociera si caratterizza per diversa durata, itinerario ed attività (dalle escursioni all'avvistamento dei Cetacei, dall’Aurora Australe al naturalistico o ad attività di immersioni polari o fotografiche). Queste remote e disabitate regioni, nonostante l’asprezza delle condizioni di vita, nascondono inaspettatamente anche numerose testimonianze di 5000 anni di vita dell’uomo. Lingua: le partenze NON garantiscono assistenza in Italiano e la lingua di bordo è l’inglese. Su alcune partenze potrà capitare che a bordo si parli anche Francese e/o Tedesco. Itinerario: deve essere considerato come molto generico. I programmi possono essere variati dal capo spedizione a seconda delle condizioni atmosferiche e del ghiaccio; lo scopo principale sarà quello di sfruttare le migliori opportunità di avvistamento della fauna selvatica o dei fenomeni naturali o delle migliori condizioni meteo per l’effettuazione delle attività previste. La flessibilità nei programmi è fondamentale. Gli sbarchi sono sempre soggetti alle condizioni meteo e alle norme ambientali (AECO). Piani di navigazioni e fasce orarie di sbarco sono sempre pianificate con l'AECO prima dell'inizio della stagione. Il piano di navigazione finale sarà determinato dal capo spedizione a bordo e dal comandante. Stivali di gomma e racchette da neve:

  • The Argentine Invasion of the Falklands and International Norms of Signalling
    Incident In our previous issue, the Journal devoted considerable space to the intro- duction of the "incident" as a genre in the study of internationallaw. As explained in that issue, an incident is an internationaldispute that has been appraisedby relevant internationalactors for its lawfulness, but in an infor- mal, nonjudicial setting, and which shapes or reinforces elite expectations about lawfulness. Readers are referred to Volume 10, Issue I of the Journal for a detailed treatment of the genre and its methodology, together with four case studies. With this issue, we introduce the incident study as a regular section of the Journal. The Argentine Invasion of the Falklands and International Norms of Signalling Michael P. Socarrast I. Problem Among the forms of communication through which states conduct their relations is the tacit exchange of messages, or "signalling." ' For example, when state A temporarily recalls its ambassador from state B, established norms which are used by the international community to in- terpret signals lead state B to see the act as a message of A's displeasure at the current course of their relationship. Similar interpretive norms are used to ascribe increasing seriousness to the complete withdrawal of an ambassador, and finally to the rupture of diplomatic relations. In the years preceding the Falklands2 War of 1982, the United Kingdom and Argentina exchanged signals concerning their dispute over the legal sta- t J.D. Candidate, Yale University. 1.

Email: P.Quil [email protected] Sub-Antarctic islands have a diversity of origins in detail but most are volcanic and very young suggesting that they are short-lived and that the distribution would have been very differenta few million years ago. 'They contrast with the common tourist brochure concept of oceanic islands. As the Antarctic Plate is virtually static, the islands seldom show signs of association with long-lived linear island chains and most thus stand alone. Longer-lived islands are either on submarine plateaux or are continental remnants of the dispersion of Gondwana. The islands are classified in relation to raised sea-floor, transform fault, triple junction, subduction zone, submarine plateau, submerged continent or continental. Many are difficult of access and poorly known geologically. Their geological history controls their many other roles such as sites as observatories, or for study of colonisation, evolution and speciation rates.

    Bread and Sheep: Argentina’s Falklands Crisis in Comparative Perspective A thesis presented by Lora Elizabeth MacDonald The Department of Political Science in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree with honors of Bachelor of Arts The University of Michigan March 2009 Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude for the invaluable guidance and intellectual support of several individuals, without whose assistance the completion of this thesis would not have been possible. I would like to thank Professor Mika Lavaque-Manty, who was instrumental in helping me to work through early ideas for this thesis. Paul Poast helped me struggle through Stata and come out with a workable dataset, and graciously agreed to be my third reader. I am grateful to Professor Robert Mickey, who resuscitated my thesis when it appeared lost and who guided me through its numerous incarnations. I would like to thank my advisor, Professor William Clark, who gave me comments, lessons, and advice, who sacrificed his office to my use, and who inspired in me an interest in mathematics I never thought possible. Last but not least, I would have been unable to undertake this project without the unceasing encouragement and support of my family.
