  • Peri-Antarctic Islands
    PERI-ANTARCTIC ISLANDS R. K. Headland 8 January 2019 SPRI, University of Cambridge, Lensfield Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom, CB2 1ER. <[email protected]> These are the 19 islands and archipelagos around Antarctica which are included in the area of interest of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research. The Peri-Antarctic Islands include the Sub-Antarctic ones and those farther south with associated features. The positions given are approximately the middle point for smaller islands and their limits for larger ones and groups. Names are given in the form recommended by the Union Géographique International. Sightings, landings, and winterings are, in all cases, the earliest definite dates; there may have been previous ones for some islands. The glacierized area is currently decreasing on several islands; thus proportions for some may be less than listed. Territorial sovereignty over some islands is disputed and some have changed by agreement. In easterly order, from the prime meridian, the islands are: BOUVETØYA; 54·42°S, 03·37°E One isolated volcanic island (with fumaroles) and offlier; in the Southern Ocean (the most isolated land on Earth). Area: 54 km2. Highest elevation: 778 m (Olavtoppen). 93% glacierized. Sighted 1739, first landing 1822 (by sealers). Uninhabited, no wintering population recorded. Norwegian dependency (Biland). PRINCE EDWARD ISLANDS; 46·60° to 46·97°S, 37·58° to 38·02°E Two islands (Marion Island and Prince Edward Island) with offliers, 19 km apart, of volcanic origin (Marion Island active in 1980); in the Indian Ocean. Area: 335 km2 (290 km2 and 45 km2 respectively). Highest elevation: 1231 m (Mascarin Peak, Marion Island).

  • Community Areas of Interest – Eider Nesting
    Written Submission No. 15 2016 Draft Nunavut Land Use Plan Proposed Land Use Designation: Community Areas of Interest – Eider Nesting To: The Nunavut Planning Commission From: The Qikiqtaaluk Wildlife Board (QWB), and the Hunters and Trappers Organization (HTO) of Grise Fiord, Resolute Bay, Pond Inlet, Qikiqtarjuaq, Pangnirtung and Iqaluit Background Information: There are several eider nesting areas that are important to Inuit that are not protected under 2016 draft NLUP. Most of these areas are nesting areas for both Common and King Eiders, and some other waterfowl and seabirds. Eiders are an important resource for the health, well-being and culture of Inuit throughout Qikiqtaaluk region. These islands can be expected to draw increased attention from tourists and others as boat, yacht and ship traffic increases throughout the region. These eider populations will be at risk to increased harassment and pollution if not protected. Without protection of these important eider habitats, the Nunavut Land Use Plan will fail in its goal to protect and promote the well-being of Nunavut’s residents and communities, a primary purpose of land use planning under Article 11 of the Nunavut Agreement. Because other species of migratory birds occur in these areas, all setbacks for all types of migratory birds should apply. Special Note – Community Area of Interest: The QWB and the HTOs have chosen not to indicate these areas as Key Migratory Bird Sites (KMBS). Section 2.1 of the 2016 draft NLUP sets criteria for KMBS based on percentages of a species national population or recognition of critical habitat under the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA).
