  • Mount Harding, Grove Mountains, East Antarctica
    MEASURE 2 - ANNEX Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No 168 MOUNT HARDING, GROVE MOUNTAINS, EAST ANTARCTICA 1. Introduction The Grove Mountains (72o20’-73o10’S, 73o50’-75o40’E) are located approximately 400km inland (south) of the Larsemann Hills in Princess Elizabeth Land, East Antarctica, on the eastern bank of the Lambert Rift(Map A). Mount Harding (72°512 -72°572 S, 74°532 -75°122 E) is the largest mount around Grove Mountains region, and located in the core area of the Grove Mountains that presents a ridge-valley physiognomies consisting of nunataks, trending NNE-SSW and is 200m above the surface of blue ice (Map B). The primary reason for designation of the Area as an Antarctic Specially Protected Area is to protect the unique geomorphological features of the area for scientific research on the evolutionary history of East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS), while widening the category in the Antarctic protected areas system. Research on the evolutionary history of EAIS plays an important role in reconstructing the past climatic evolution in global scale. Up to now, a key constraint on the understanding of the EAIS behaviour remains the lack of direct evidence of ice sheet surface levels for constraining ice sheet models during known glacial maxima and minima in the post-14 Ma period. The remains of the fluctuation of ice sheet surface preserved around Mount Harding, will most probably provide the precious direct evidences for reconstructing the EAIS behaviour. There are glacial erosion and wind-erosion physiognomies which are rare in nature and extremely vulnerable, such as the ice-core pyramid, the ventifact, etc.

  • Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No
    Measure 9 (2011) Annex Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 167 Hawker Island, Princess Elizabeth Land Introduction Hawker Island (68°38’S, 77°51’E, Map A) is located 7 km south-west from Davis station off the Vestfold Hills on the Ingrid Christensen Coast, Princess Elizabeth Land, East Antarctica. The island was designated as Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No. 167 under Measure 1 (2006), following a proposal by Australia, primarily to protect the southernmost breeding colony of southern giant petrels (Macronectes giganteus) (Map B). The Area is one of only four known breeding locations for southern giant petrels on the coast of East Antarctica, all of which have been designated as ASPAs: ASPA 102, Rookery Islands, Holme Bay, Mac.Robertson Land (67º36’S, 62º53’E) – near Mawson Station; ASPA 160, Frazier Islands, Wilkes Land (66°13’S, 110°11’E) – near Casey station; and ASPA 120, Pointe Géologie, Terre Adélie (66º40’S, 140º01’E) – near Dumont d’Urville. Hawker Island also supports breeding colonies of Adélie penguins (Pygocelis adeliae), south polar skuas (Catharacta maccormicki), Cape petrels (Daption capense) and occasionally Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii). 1. Description of values to be protected The total population of southern giant petrels in East Antarctica represents less than 1% of the global breeding population. It is currently estimated at approximately 300 pairs, comprising approximately 45 pairs on Hawker Island (2010), 2-4 pairs on Giganteus Island (Rookery Islands group) (2007), approximately 250 pairs on the Frazier Islands (2001) and 8-9 pairs at Pointe Géologie (2005). Southern giant petrels also breed on other islands in the southern Indian and Atlantic Oceans and at the Antarctic Peninsula.
