COMPOSITE GAZETTEER of ANTARCTICA (CGA) Draft Of Draft July 2002 Letter “A” only COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA (CGA) Draft of Volume 2, letter A only Shanghai, July 2002 1 . 2 INTRODUCTION From 1998 to 2000 At the meeting of the WG on Geodesy and Geographic Information held in Concepción, Chile, July 1998, the first edition of the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica (CGA) was presented and discussed. As a consequence of the discussion, the WG decided the upgrading of the CGA in order to include in future editions the dates of approval of names and the descriptions of the geographical features. All Member Countries were asked to send their contributions to the Italian team charged with the new task. An additional requirement, mainly addressed to those Countries that had already got the required supplementary information in their Gazetteers, was that the descriptions should be shortened in order to not exceed, on the average, 300 characters. The request was issued on 15 June 1999. At the meeting of the WG Program Leaders held in Heppenheim, Germany, July 1999, the difficulties of assembling a large amount of data in a comparatively short time appeared quite evident. It was decided, accordingly, that only the geographical names beginning with the letter "A" should be taken into consideration at the present stage. During the two year span between Concepción meeting (1998) and Tokyo meeting (2000) the work on the CGA went on along two lines: on the one side, dates of approval and descriptions were added to existing names; on the other side, new names were collected and included in the CGA, those new names coming most often complete with dates and descriptions. All new names made available before the dead line of 1st September 2000 were included in a SCAR Publication called CGA - Supplement to the first Edition. The Supplement was meant to be used in conjunction with the 1998 edition of the CGA because it actually completed the CGA at that time. From 2000 to 2002 In the two-year time span which followed, i.e. between Tokyo meeting (2000) and Shanghai meeting (2002), the work went on along the same lines. A paper (What's new in the CGA) has been compiled to include all additions/amendments intervened after the publication of the Supplement, i.e. after 1st September 2000. At the same time, dates and descriptions, mostly for the names beginning with the letter "A", were acquired whenever available. A new "Letter A only" compilation The acquisition of dates and descriptions made noticeable progress. Accordingly, it was felt useful to show how the final SCAR CGA would look like. Because the 3 Countries which undertook the effort supplied mostly the letter "A" of their gazetteers, any reasonable mock compilation at this time could take into account only that letter. A list of the letter "A" features was prepared for the discussion to be held at the Pontignano (Siena) meeting in July 2001. The present document has the same layout of the Pontignano's document but updates and supersedes it. As to the descriptions, ten Countries have met the WG-GGI's requirement until now. The Countries are Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Ecuador, United Kingdom, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, Spain. It should be noticed that among the Countries mentioned above, several have a very limited gazetteer. Other Countries (e.g. New Zealand, Norway, United Kingdom) are presently submitting all new names complete of descriptions while the old names are still lacking descriptions. The USA have names and descriptions in their publication "Geographic Names of Antarctica" but the list of names has not been revised so that several items are still oversized. The special case of Argentina is discussed below, together with the problem of the languages in the CGA. As a matter of fact, of the 34,186 names listed in the CGA, a share of about 49% (16,736 names) has got the description. As to the date of approval of names, only Bulgaria, Canada, Italy, Japan, Poland and Uruguay have provided such an information. Several Countries however seem to become increasingly sensible to the problem and for some of them (U.K., for instance) the date of approval is a part of the supplied information for all new names. As a matter of fact, of the 34,186 names listed in the CGA, a share of about 7% (2235 names) has got the date. The case of Argentina is the following. The Gazetteer of this Country is available since many years, the last edition of it (1993) being the "Nomenclador Antartico Argentino". At the present, Argentina is revising the Gazetteer and the first letters of the Gazetteer have been made available to the Italian team for the CGA. All the items in the new Argentinean Gazetteer have the description and most of them have the date of approval. Accordingly, the Argentinean material recently acquired is suitable for the inclusion in the proof "letter A only" of the future CGA. It should be emphasised however that the Argentinean Gazetteer being used for the inclusion in the document is not yet official. Actually it has not been completed yet. The Argentinean descriptions draw the attention to another aspect of the compilation: descriptions supplied by Argentina are in Spanish. The question arises: shall the CGA contain definitions in languages other than English? The problem was taken into consideration at the Heppenheim meeting but no firm conclusion has been reached since then. 4 The discussion above shows that the material collected until now is still scarce and, apart from being restricted to only one letter of the alphabet, is far from being complete. It is however, year after year, steadily increasing. About the list of features The list of names, descriptions and dates of approval given in the following pages is, in any case, the necessary starting point to promote the discussion and to evaluate the entire work as it will look like when finished. The present list updates the previous one tabled two years ago when the XXVI SCAR Meeting was held in Tokyo. The list contains 1811 names corresponding to 830 geographical features(*). Descriptions have been supplied, with the limitations stressed above, by Argentina, Australia, Bulgaria, Great Britain, Italy, New Zealand, Poland and USA. The structure of each record is the following: First line: reference number (on a grey background), Second line: name, latitude, longitude, height above sea level and source of information (all in bold), Following lines: date of approval and description of the feature.

Maria 53-56126, Pisa, Italy ([email protected]) Abstract Cenozoic magmatic rocks of the Transantarctic Mountains provide an important window on the tectonic and magmatic processes of the West Antarctic Rift System. Previous aeromagnetic investigations in northern Victoria Land have delineated Cenozoic volcanic and intrusive complexes assigned to the McMurdo Volcanic Group and Meander Intrusives over the Transantarctic Mountains. We present a new aeromagnetic anomaly map for the region north of the Mariner Glacier to study the extent and spatial distribution of these Cenozoic rocks over the previously unexplored Admiralty Mountains.

ARCTIC RIFT COPPER Part of world’s newest metallogenic province: Kiffaanngissuseq Technical Assessment Report Greenfields Exploration Ltd November 2020 This report presents a holistic view of north eastern Greenland’s geology. The empirical evidence of mineralisation and geological record are tied in with mineral system components from global through to prospect scales. The source rocks, geodynamic triggers, pathways, and deposition sites are all identified within a preserved terrane. This work defines the Kiffaanngissuseq metallogenic province, a previously undescribed mineral system. For the first time, we identify a c. 1,250 Ma orogenic event in the basement as the geodynamic trigger related to the basalt- hosted native copper within the Arctic Rift Copper project. A c. 385 Ma fluid migration is identified as the trigger for a second copper-sulphide mineralising event expressed within the project, that also emplaced a distal zinc deposit within Kiffaanngissuseq. This multi-episodal mineral system is supported by a regional geochemical and hydrodynamic framework that is not articulated elsewhere.

    Transcript of a recording of Jeremy Light, interviewed at Peterhouse College on 15 September 2007 by Chris Eldon Lee. Jeremy Light, BAS Archive AD6/24/1/29, transcribed by Barry Heywood, 8 November 2015. Light: Jeremy Light. I was born 30th January 1943 in Salcombe, South Devon. [00:00:22] Lee: What were you doing before you came to BAS or Fids? Light: I was a student at Aberdeen University, studying Zoology at first, then Honours in Botany. [00:00:38] Lee: What drew you into going to the Antarctic? Light: Two things. There was an old Fid called Ian McLeod [G.K.McLeod - Transcriber?] who went down to the Antarctic many times. I remember him saying that it was the only way he could escape from women. And then I was very lucky to be able to go to an evening slide show given by Dr Macklin who was on Shackleton’s last voyage. No! not the last voyage – the famous boat voyage one. And that was really inspiring to me. [00:01:19] Lee: You didn’t want to get away from women particularly? Light: No! No I didn’t want to get away from my woman. [Lee laughs] We have known each other from practically birth. [00:01:34] Lee: So how did you go about fulfilling your wish, your dream? Light: Well, when I had finished my honours, I applied to BAS, but in fact, I had started on an honours project…I did some work on the high corrie lochans in the Cairngorms and found aquatic mosses there…quite a find…and so it seemed tailor-made for me when there was a job to study lakes on Signy Island.

This paper uses remote-sensing, structural glaciological and sedimento- logical data to evaluate the evolution of the c. 25000 km2 George VI Ice Shelf, SW Antarctic Peninsula. The ice shelf occu- pies a north–south-trending tectonic rift between Alexander Island and Palmer Land, and is nourished mainly by ice streams from the latter region.
