Damoy Point 64º49´00´´S, 63º31´00´´W Dorian Bay, Wiencke Island Key Features -Historic British and Argentine field huts -Gentoo penguin colony -Glacial scenery Description TOPOGRAPHY Damoy Point is a rocky isthmus off the west coast of Wiencke Island, Antarctic Peninsula. FAUNA Confirmed breeders: Antarctic tern, Gentoo penguin, Kelp gull, Subantarctic Skua. Present late in the season: Fur seal. Regularly haul out: Weddell seal. Seen off-shore: Crabeater Seal, Leopard seal. FLORA 5 species of lichen and 3 species of moss have been reported from Damoy Point, in addition to the common green alga Prasiola crispa. OTHER Damoy Hut is designated as Historic Site and Monument No. 84. It sits approximately 100 metres from the shoreline of Dorian Bay. The hut was established by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in November 1975 and was used as a transit station for BAS staff and stores to be flown south from the skiway on the glacier above the hut to Rothera Research Station when sea ice prevented access by ship. It was last occupied by BAS in 1993. The Bahía Dorian hut was established by the Argentine Navy on February 23rd, 1953. It sits in very close proximity to the British Hut and covers an area of c. 12 square metres. The hut has been used as an emergency refuge. Visitor Impact KNOWN IMPACTS None known. POTENTIAL IMPACTS Fire. Minor fuel spills. Disturbance of wildlife and trampling of vegetation. Landing Requirements SHIPS* Max pax on board: 500 Ships at a time: 1 Comments: Ships carrying 500 or fewer passengers (however, note visitor restrictions below).

Honour and recognition in case of success.” -Sir Ernest Shackleton’s alleged advertisement for crew of the Endurance Expedition 06:30 Early morning coffee, tea and pastries are available in the Compass Club 07:30 – 09:00 Breakfast is served in the Polaris Restaurant 09:30 We plan to land & zodiac cruise at Danco Island Danco Island lies in the southern end of the Errera Channel. It is relatively small, 1.6 km (1 mi) long, and 180 m (590 ft) high. The view from the top of Danco Island is spectacular due to the heavily crevassed glaciers in the surrounding mountains. Beautiful rolled icebergs also tend to collect in this area of the channel. Danco Island is home to approximately 1,600 breeding pairs of gentoo penguins, which breed on the steep slopes. Disembarkation Sequence: 1) Penguin 2) Albatross 3) Whale 4) Seal 12:30 – 13:30 Lunch is served in the Polaris Restaurant 14:00 We plan to ship cruise the Neumayer Channel This 26km (16 mi) long and 2.4km (1.5mile) wide channel separates Anvers Island from Wiencke & Doumer Islands. It was first seen by the German Antarctic Expedition (1873-74) but was first transited by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under de Gerlache on the Belgica (1897-99). They named it for Georg von Neuymayer a German geophysicist and advocate of Antarctic exploration.

  • SECTION THREE: Historic Sites and Monuments in Antarctica
    SECTION THREE: Historic Sites and Monuments in Antarctica The need to protect historic sites and monuments became apparent as the number of expeditions to the Antarctic increased. At the Seventh Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting it was agreed that a list of historic sites and monuments be created. So far 74 sites have been identified. All of them are monuments – human artifacts rather than areas – and many of them are in close proximity to scientific stations. Provision for protection of these sites is contained in Annex V, Article 8. Listed Historic Sites and Monuments may not be damaged, removed, or destroyed. 315 List of Historic Sites and Monuments Identified and Described by the Proposing Government or Governments 1. Flag mast erected in December 1965 at the South Geographical Pole by the First Argentine Overland Polar Expedition. 2. Rock cairn and plaques at Syowa Station (Lat 69°00’S, Long 39°35’E) in memory of Shin Fukushima, a member of the 4th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition, who died in October 1960 while performing official duties. The cairn was erected on 11 January 1961, by his colleagues. Some of his ashes repose in the cairn. 3. Rock cairn and plaque on Proclamation Island, Enderby Land, erected in January 1930 by Sir Douglas Mawson (Lat 65°51’S, Long 53°41’E) The cairn and plaque commemorate the landing on Proclamation Island of Sir Douglas Mawson with a party from the British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition of 1929­ 31. 4. Station building to which a bust of V. I. Lenin is fixed, together with a plaque in memory of the conquest of the Pole of Inaccessibility by Soviet Antarctic explorers in 1958 (Lat 83°06’S, Long 54°58’E).

As early as the beginning of 1894, M. de Gei"lache communicated to M. Du Fief, secretary to the Geographical Society of Belgium, his scheme of a Belgian expedition to the South Polar regions. The project called forth an enthusiastic response from the Geographical Society and was soon crowned w^ith the patronage of H. R. H. Prince Albert of Belgium. A subscription list inaugurated by the Geogra])hical Society became promptly graced by . the names of many generous donors.
