The mostly low grade late Paleozoic Eastern Andes Metamorphic Complex (EAMC) crops out to the East of the Meso-Cenozoic South Patagonian batholith (SPB), which intruded the metamorphic complexes. The protolith of the EAMC was likely deposited in a passive margin setting and at the Puerto Edén area underwent Late Jurassic sillimanite grade and migmatite local metamorphic conditions. It is suspected, but not proven, that the Cordillera Darwin Metamorphic Complex is a higher grade metamorphic equivalent of the EAMC.

  • Geological Exploration of South Atlantic Islands and Its Contributions to the Continental Drift Debate of the Early 20Th Century
    Published in Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, 2015, Volume 126, 266-281. Note that this version of the text does not include the Journal’s editorial and proof corrections Geological exploration of South Atlantic islands and its contributions to the continental drift debate of the early 20th century Philip Stone British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Road, Edinburgh EH9 3LA, Scotland, UK. E-mail: [email protected] Key Words: South Atlantic Ocean, Scotia Arc, Falkland Islands, South Georgia, Gondwana, continental drift. Abstract The geological character of the South Atlantic islands was only slowly established during the first half of the 20th century. That same period was marked by a generally dismissive view of continental drift but, as the continental nature of the islands became apparent, their ‘oceanic’ setting was utilised by both sides of the ‘drift’ debate to support their respective positions. So islands such as the Falklands archipelago and South Georgia were cited either as fragments detached from larger continental bodies during drift, or as the last surviving vestiges of a huge continental landmass that had subsided beneath the water of the South Atlantic. The appreciation of the Scotia Arc as a dynamic geological construct arising from lateral tectonics, and the Falkland Islands as representative of an itinerant continental fragment, were features of some early accounts of the region, but such ideas were generally discounted by the geological establishment of the day. This paper reviews the early, pioneering contributions to the geological understanding of the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the Scotia Arc region, assessing their contemporary reception and tracing their influence on the developing continental drift controversy.

  • Contribution of H. Arctowski and A. B. Dobrowolski to the Antarctic Expedition of Belgica (1897-1899)
    POLISH POLAR RESEARCH 19 1-2 15-30 1998 Jacek MACHOWSKI Kwiatowa 139 05-120 Legionowo, POLAND Contribution of H. Arctowski and A. B. Dobrowolski to the Antarctic Expedition of Belgica (1897-1899) ABSTRACT: Alongside the purely scientific nature and the first wintering in Antarctica, another innovative feature of the Belgica expedition was its multinational composition. Two, out of its seven persons strong scientific staff, were Polish - H. Arctowski and A. B. Dobro­ wolski. The first served as scientific deputy-leader of the expedition, the other as laboratory assistant and meteorologist. Their contribution to the scientific success of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition outlined in the present paper, turned into the starting point of brilliant academic careers in the native country and at international level. Both, Arctowski and Dobrowolski, were acknowledged as symbols of the Polish explorations and scientific investigations in polar regions. Key words: Arctowski, Dobrowolski, Antarctica, Belgica expedition. Introduction The Antarctic expedition of Belgica (1897-1899) occupies a very special place in the history of the discovery and scientific exploration of that part of the world. This is not only due to its timing and the first wintering event in Antarc­ tica, but principally to its scientific achievements. Two distinguished Polish scholars, Henryk Arctowski and Antoni Bolesław Dobrowolski took part in this multinational Belgian expedition led by Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery (see Arctowski 1899a, 1960; Cook 1900; Dobrowolski 1950; Gerlache 1902; Le- cointe 1904; Kosiba 1960). Background Since the middle of the 19th century, scientists followed with growing con­ cern the events accompanying the exploration of the polar regions.

This book was designed to help enhance student learning. The content of this book is an accumulation of information that is the most up to date and accurate as possible. Please remember, geography has many different elements, these elements are ever changing. Therefore, the information that is provided in this book is as accurate as the date that it was inputted. This book has a very specific outline for each chapter. You will start with an introduction to the sections learning objectives and vocabulary. Mastering each section will help you to build your knowledge base for the next section. The information in each section will be provided in various ways. You will be required to read the content of the subject and evaluate information on maps, interpret charts, graphs and pictures. While some students may find at least one of these areas difficult, do not worry, we are in this together.

  • Your Cruise the Weddell Sea & the South Sandwich Islands
    The Weddell Sea & the South Sandwich Islands From 3/14/2022 From Ushuaia Ship: LE COMMANDANT CHARCOT to 3/31/2022 to Montevideo From Patagonia to the Antarctic peninsula, via South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, this all-new itinerary will take you into the heart of the Scotia Arc. This volcanic archipelago at the junction of the Andes cordillera and the Antarctandes will be revealed to you in all its riches and splendour. All the wildlife of the Far South can be found there: king and gentoo penguins, elephant seals, fur seals mingle on the beautiful dark sand beaches… At sea, orcas, humpback whales and other cetaceans will escort you along your navigation through frozen waters. This cruise will also be an opportunity to discoverfour very different ecosystems, from the wooded heights of the Tierra del Fuego and the table top icebergs of the Weddell Sea to the glacier-covered mountains of the South Sandwich Islands and the snow-capped summits Southof Overnight in Santiago + flight Santiago/Ushuaia + transfer Georgia. We are privileged guests in these extreme lands where we are at the mercy of weather and ice conditions. Our navigation will be determined by the type of ice we come across; as the coastal ice must be preserved, we will take this factor into account from day to day in our itineraries. The sailing schedule and any landings, activities and wildlife encounters are subject to weather and ice conditions. These experiences are unique and vary with each departure. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while respecting safety instructions and regulations imposed by the IAATO.
