On 18 February 1977, the Tribunal ren- dered its award (see p. 77 below). In an exchange of diplomatic notes dated 25 and 26 January 1978 (see p. 226 below), Argentina declared the award insuperably null and void in accordance with international law and Chile rejected this "decla- ration of invalidity". On 20 February 1978, Argentina and Chile signed an agreement in Puerto Montt, Chile, to resolve through negotiations issues pertaining to the relations between the two countries, particularly those stemming from the situation in the southern region (see p. 237 below). On 8 Janu- ary 1979, the two States signed the Act of Montevideo by which they requested the Holy See to act as a mediator with regard to their dispute over the southern region (see p. 240 below). On 12 December 1980, the Holy See delivered a papal proposal for the solution of the dispute in the southern region to the two States (see p. 243 below). On 23 January 1984, the two States signed a joint declara- tion of peace and friendship, reaffirming their will to achieve a settle- ment to the dispute submitted to the mediation of His Holiness, Pope John Paul II, without delay (see p. 249 below). On 29 November 1984 Argentina and Chile signed a treaty of peace and friendship which, "taking especially into account the Proposal of the Mediator, sugges- tions and advise", defined the boundary between the respective sover- eignties over the sea, seabed and subsoil of the two countries in the sea oí the southern zone (see p. 250 below).] 55 AFFAIRE CONCERNANT UN LITIGE ENTRE LA RÉPUBLIQUE ARGENTINE ET LA RÉPUBLIQUE DU CHILI RELATIF AU CANAL DE BEAGLE [Note de l'éditeur Un différend ayant surgi entre l'Argentine et le Chili à propos des frontières terrestres et maritimes entre les deux pays et de la revendica- tion de certains îles, îlots et rochers situés à l'extrémité du continent sud-américain (la région orientale du canal de Beagle), une cour d'arbi- trage a été instituée en vertu d'un compromis signé le 22 juillet 1971 (voir ci-après p. 64). Le 18 février 1977, la cour a rendu sa sentence (voir ci-après p. 77). Dans un échange de notes diplomatiques datées des 25 et 26 janvier 1978 (voir ci-après p. 226), l'Argentine a déclaré la sentence nulle et non avenue au regard du droit international. Le Chili a rejeté cette "déclara- tion de nullité". Le 20 février 1978, l'Argentine et le Chili ont signé à Puerto Montt (Chili) un accord en vue de régler par voie de négociations, les ques- tions ayant trait aux relations entre les deux pays, notamment celles découlant de la situation dans la région australe (voir ci-après p. 237). Le 8 janvier 1979, les deux Etats ont signé l'acte de Montevideo par lequel ils ont prié le Saint-Siège d'intervenir en médiateur dans le différend dont la région australe faisait l'objet (voir ci-après p. 240). Le 12 décembre 1980, le Saint-Siège a saisi les deux Etats d'une proposition de règlement du différend dans la région australe, émanant du Pape (voir ci-après p. 243). Le 23 janvier 1984, les deux Etats ont signé une déclaration de paix et d'amitié conjointe réaffirmant leur volonté de régler rapidement le différend soumis à la médiation de S. S. le pape Jean-Paul II (voir ci-après p. 249). Le 29 novembre 1984, l'Argentine et le Chili ont signé un traité de paix et d'amitié qui, "tenant compte en particulier de la Proposition du médiateur, des suggestions et conseils", a défini les domaines de souveraineté respectifs des deux Etats sur la mer, les fonds marins et le sous-sol dans l'espace maritime de la zone australe (voir ci-après p. 250).] 56 I BEAGLE CHANNEL ARBITRATION BETWEEN THE REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINA AND THE REPUBLIC OF CHILE REPORT AND DECISION OF THE COURT OF ARBITRATION 18 February 1977 ARBITRAGE CONCERNANT LE CANAL DE BEAGLE ENTRE LA RÉPUBLIQUE ARGENTINE ET LE CHILI RAPPORT ET DÉCISION DE LA COUR D'ARBITRAGE 18 février 1977 TABLE OF CONTENTS PART i: REPORT Section A.

    PART I • Omora Park Long-Term Ornithological Research Program THE OMORA PARK LONG-TERM ORNITHOLOGICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM: 1 STUDY SITES AND METHODS RICARDO ROZZI, JAIME E. JIMÉNEZ, FRANCISCA MASSARDO, JUAN CARLOS TORRES-MURA, AND RAJAN RIJAL In January 2000, we initiated a Long-term Ornithological Research Program at Omora Ethnobotanical Park in the world's southernmost forests: the sub-Antarctic forests of the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve. In this chapter, we first present some key climatic, geographical, and ecological attributes of the Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion compared to subpolar regions of the Northern Hemisphere. We then describe the study sites at Omora Park and other locations on Navarino Island and in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve. Finally, we describe the methods, including censuses, and present data for each of the bird species caught in mist nets during the first eleven years (January 2000 to December 2010) of the Omora Park Long-Term Ornithological Research Program. THE MAGELLANIC SUB-ANTARCTIC ECOREGION The contrast between the southwestern end of South America and the subpolar zone of the Northern Hemisphere allows us to more clearly distinguish and appreciate the peculiarities of an ecoregion that until recently remained invisible to the world of science and also for the political administration of Chile. So much so, that this austral region lacked a proper name, and it was generally subsumed under the generic name of Patagonia. For this reason, to distinguish it from Patagonia and from sub-Arctic regions, in the early 2000s we coined the name “Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion” (Rozzi 2002). The Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion extends along the southwestern margin of South America between the Gulf of Penas (47ºS) and Horn Island (56ºS) (Figure 1).

This narrow and long channel is one of the three navigable passages connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and it is shared between Chile and Argentina. Within the framework of the ERANET Lac Project CLIMAR (http://climar.cnr.it/index.php/contact/) a modeling study was conducted to investigate the water circulation inside this Channel and in the surrounding areas in order to evaluate the effects of atmospheric forcing on the channel fluxes and main hydrodynamics. A high-resolution 3D hydrodynamic model based on the finite elements method was implemented to an extended domain covering the whole Patagonian Shelf, part of the Drake Channel and part of the South-Eastern Pacific Ocean. The model horizontal spatial resolution was varying between several km for open oceans up to 100 m for Ushuaya Bay inside the Channel. A full year simulation run was carried out to repro- duce the circulation inside the channel as generated by tides, atmospheric and thermohaline forcing.

    Así Nació Ushuaia. Orígenes De La Ciudad Más Austral Del Mundo1

    Dossier. Reflexiones en torno a los estudios sobre Territorios Nacionales Así nació Ushuaia. Orígenes de la ciudad más austral del mundo1 Aroldo Canclini** LA VIDA EN EL FIN DEL MUNDO (1869-1884) Aunque en Ushuaia la vida tenía mucho de rutinario, la forma en que transcurrían las cosas en la población más austral del mundo merece ser consignada brevemente. Los recuerdos de los hijos de los misioneros -Lucas Bridges en su hermoso libro y su hermano Guillermo oralmente- son coincidentes y demuestran cómo quedaron marcados por aquella experiencia. El horario cotidiano cambió varias veces durante los años, pero podemos dar como ejemplo el que regía para el verano de 1876. Todos se levantaban a las cinco menos veinte y, antes de desayunarse a las seis, los misioneros dedicaban un rato a la lectura de la Biblia y a la oración en conjunto. A la hora citada, tocaba una campana para llamar a los indígenas quienes, luego de comer, se dedicaban a sus trabajos. Algunos cuidaban las cabras y vacas que se utilizaban para el consumo y otros cultivaban las huertas que todos tenían detrás de su casita. En algunas ocasiones, se construían cercos o caminos, por ejemplo desde la iglesia hasta la playa. De nueve a diez, se celebraba un culto para implorar la bendición divina durante el día y luego se daba alguna enseñanza a los hombres y mujeres, que después volvían a su trabajo. A la una de la tarde otra campana llamaba a almorzar y de dos a cinco y media se trabajaba nuevamente. Los sábados a la tarde y los domingos eran días de descanso.

The announcement of Feb. 7 stated that on Dec. 7, 1947, the British Ambassador in Buenos Aires, Sir Reginald Leeper, had presented a Note expressing British "anxiety" at the activities in the Antarctic of an Argentine naval expedition which had visited part of the Falkland Islands Dependencies, including Graham Land, the South Shetlands, and the South Orkneys, and had landed at various points in British territory; that a request had been made for Argentine nationals to evacuate bases established on Deception Island and Gamma Island, in the South Shetlands; that H.M. Government had proposed that the Argentine should submit her claim to Antarctic sovereignty to the International Court of Justice for adjudication; and that on Dec. 23, 1947, a second British Note had been presented expressing surprise at continued violations of British territory and territorial waters by Argentine vessels in the Antarctic.

Y, pre- cisamente, uno de los sectores que más se ha desarrollado en estas dos décadas son las obras públicas. El trabajo serio y la moderna visión que hemos impreso a este esfuerzo han significado que el país haya vivido la más grande revolución en infraestructura en toda su historia. Basta mencionar sólo un par de ejemplos: en agua potable rural, el país invertía $ 2.230 millones en 1994, mientras que para 2008 la inversión alcanzó $34.960 millones, es decir, un aumento superior al 1.500%. En embalses, mientras en el período 1970-1990 se embalsaron 40 millones de metros cúbicos de agua, en el período 1990-2011 se embalsarán 860 millones de metros cúbicos, esto es, 21 veces más de agua embalsada. Cifras igualmente impresionantes se aprecian en la red de caminos básicos y carre- teras, que se extiende en miles de kilómetros por el país, o en las obras portuarias y aeroportuarias que nos conectan con el mundo.

    As Viagens De Francisco Moreno: Visões Da Natureza E Construção Da Nação No Extremo Sul Argentino – 1873 - 1903

    REVISTA ANGELUS NOVUS - nº 1 – agosto de 2010 As viagens de Francisco Moreno: visões da natureza e construção da Nação no extremo sul argentino – 1873 - 1903 Federico Santos Soares de Freitas Mestrando em História Social e bacharel em História pela Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Resumo: O artigo analisa as visões sobre a Patagônia Oriental presentes no discurso do geógrafo e naturalista argentino Francisco Moreno no final do século XIX. A análise dos documentos demonstra que a preocupação em rebater uma idéia corrente que via a Patagônia como um "deserto inútil", somada à decepção com o processo de distribuição de terras ocorrido após a conquista militar da região, fizeram com que Moreno doasse três léguas de suas terras para a criação do primeiro parque nacional argentino, o Nahuel Huapi. No final, a visão do mundo natural como um dos elementos fundamentais para a construção do Estado-Nação argentino revela-se como a base para as ações de Moreno. Palavras-chave: História da Argentina, História Ambiental, Patagônia, civilização, natureza, Estado-Nação, Francisco Moreno Abstract: This article analyses views of Eastern Patagonia that factored into the discourse of Francisco Moreno, an Argentine naturalist and geographer in the late 19th century. An analysis of the documents shows that his preoccupation with countering the belief at the time that the Patagonia was a “useless desert,” coupled with his sense of deception with the process of land distribution after the military conquest of the region, motivated Moreno to donate three leagues of his land to create the first Argentinean national park, the Nahuel Huapi. In the end, the view of the natural world as one of the basic elements in the building of the Argentinean Nation-State reveals itself as the framework for Moreno's actions.
