With the Belgians when the Belgica sailed south in 1897 were Norwegians, Poles, a Rumanian, and an American. Seventy-nine years after the Belgica was locked in the ice men of many nations will celebrate their Antarctic Christmas in traditional fashion, and in happier circumstances than de Gerlache's men. They are not cut from the world completely. As it has done for the last 20 years, "Antarctic" wishes them all a Merry Christmas. December, 1976 NEW ZEALAND FIELD WORK BEGINS New Zealand's Antarctic research programme for 1976-77 began officially on October 7 when the first contingent arrived to relieve the winter team of 11 men at Scott Base, and to initiate a wide range of scientific projects. By the middle of this month the first part of the programme was in full swing with field parties in the dry valleys, on White Island, and out in Victoria Land. This year there are New Zealanders at With 11 dogs to each team, two sledge three United States stations, and a parties left Scott Base on October 2, and United States field camp on the Ross Ice covered the 20 miles to Cape Evans in Shelf nearly 780km from Scott Base.

  • Memoria Antártica Nacional Campaña Antártica 2014-2015 Santiago Diciembre De 2015 Presentación Del Ministro De Relaciones Exteriores
    Memoria Antártica Nacional Campaña Antártica 2014-2015 Santiago Diciembre de 2015 Presentación del Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores Sr. Heraldo Muñoz Valenzuela El 16 de diciembre de 2014, el Consejo de Política Antártica, que tengo el honor de presidir, reunido en Punta Arenas, entregó un mandato a las instituciones antárticas nacionales para la elaboración de una Memoria Antártica Nacional. El documento que presentamos, compilación inédita de las tareas que se desarrollan anualmente en ese continente, da cumplimiento a dicho mandato. El quehacer antártico nacional involucra a un amplio espectro de instituciones, las que destinan personas y recursos a la ejecución de las tareas que nuestra legislación les confiere. Cada una de estas entidades cumple un papel fundamental en el logro de los objetivos establecidos en la Política Antártica Nacional, documento rector de nuestros trabajos. El Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, en su rol de coordinador de la Política Antártica Nacional, ha enfatizado la difusión hacia la ciudadanía de la labor que las instituciones nacionales realizan en ese continente. Junto con describir de manera general las perspectivas que se abren para los intereses nacionales en este ámbito, este documento resalta los profundos vínculos históricos, geográficos y políticos que desde los inicios de nuestra historia patria nos unen con la Antártica. Al presentar esta primera Memoria Anual, es oportuno recordar el destacado papel de Chile durante las negociaciones del Tratado Antártico, instrumento internacional que cumplirá 55 años de vigencia en 2016, a través de sus delegados Marcial Mora, Enrique Gallardo y Julio Escudero; así como durante la evolución de las cuestiones antárticas en el ámbito multilateral, gracias a figuras como Oscar Pinochet de la Barra y Jorge Berguño.

  • Velocity Increases at Cook Glacier, East Antarctica Linked to Ice Shelf Loss and a Subglacial Flood Event

Velocity increases at Cook Glacier, East Antarctica linked to ice shelf loss and a subglacial flood event Bertie W.J. Miles1*, Chris R. Stokes1, Stewart S.R. Jamieson1 1Department of Geography, Durham University, Science Site, South Road, Durham, DH1 3LE 5 Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract: Cook Glacier drains a large proportion of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin in East Antarctica, a region thought to be vulnerable to marine ice sheet instability and with potential to make a significant contribution to sea-level. Despite its importance, there have been very 10 few observations of its longer-term behaviour (e.g. of velocity or changes at its ice front). Here we use a variety of satellite imagery to produce a time-series of ice-front position change from 1947-2017 and ice velocity from 1973-2017. Cook Glacier has two distinct outlets (termed East and West) and we observe the near-complete loss of the Cook West Ice Shelf at some time between 1973 and 1989. This was associated with a doubling of the velocity of Cook West 15 glacier, which may also be linked to previously published reports of inland thinning. The loss of the Cook West Ice Shelf is surprising given that the present-day ocean-climate conditions in the region are not typically associated with catastrophic ice shelf loss. However, we speculate that a more intense ocean-climate forcing in the mid-20th century may have been important in forcing its collapse.

(February 1978) I did field work for a petrologic study of high-grade Pre- cambrian metamorphic rocks in Enderby Land that contain the assemblages sapphirine-quartz and orthopyroxene- sillimanite-quartz while I was a member of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE). The present ANARE program, a geological, glaciological, geophysical, and cartographic survey of Enderby Land (45°E. to 55°E.), was begun during the 1974-75 season. A temporary logistics base has been established 5 kilometers southeast of "Mount King" (unofficial name) (67004S.52052E.). During my stay in Enderby Land (28 December to 11 February) I studied eight localities in detail (3 to 7 days at each) and made a brief visit to a ninth. On 25 January and again on 27January 1978, I accompanied members of ANARE to Molodezhanaya while L. I.
