  • BIRD SPECIES RECORDED at CAPE BIRD, ROSS ISLAND, ANTARCTICA by E
    BIRD SPECIES RECORDED AT CAPE BIRD, ROSS ISLAND, ANTARCTICA By E. B. SPURR, K.-J. WILSON, and P. M. SAGAR ABSTRACT The .\delie Penguin and Antarctic Skua breed at Cape Bird, and nine other species have been recorded as visitors (Emperor Penguin, Chinstrap Penguin, Southern Giant Petrel, Antarctic Fulmar, Antarctic Petrel, Snow Petrel, Wilson's Storm Petrel, Southern Great Skua, and Southern Black-backed Gull). Fewer birds were recorded as visitors at Cape Bird than have been recorded at Capes Crozier and Royds, possibly because Cape Bird gets less wind. INTRODUCTION Cape Bird, at the northern tip of Ross Island, Antarctica, is a breeding area for the Addie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) and the Antarctic Skua (Stercoranus maccomicki). The breeding area extends from about 5 km to about 14 km south-west of the cape (77O 13'S, 166'28'E to 77O 18'S, 1660201E).The skuas nest over much of the area, whereas the penguins nest in three discrete areas (the Northern. Middle, and Southern Rookeries). Throughout winter, the breeding area of the birds is covered with snow and closed in by the McMurdo Sound sea-ice. The break-up of this sea-ice in spring is vitally important for the birds (Stonehouse 1967). Most of the area is free of snow before (or very soon after) the birds arrive in mid-late October. We visited Cape Bird each summer from 1967168 to 1981182 (except 1976/77) and again in 1987188, for periods of 3 - 14 weeks between 22 October and 15 February (Appendix 1). Many aspects of the biology of the two breeding species (Adelie Penguin and Antarctic Skua) have been described elsewhere (see review by Young 1981; also Davis 1988, Davis et al.

  • Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 116 NEW COLLEGE VALLEY, CAUGHLEY BEACH, CAPE BIRD, ROSS ISLAND
    Management Plan For Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 116 NEW COLLEGE VALLEY, CAUGHLEY BEACH, CAPE BIRD, ROSS ISLAND 1. Description of values to be protected In 1985, two areas at Cape Bird, Ross Island were designated as SSSI No. 10, Caughley Beach (Recommendation XIII-8 (1985)) and SPA No. 20, New College Valley (Recommendation XIII-12 (1985)), following proposals by New Zealand that these areas should be protected because they contained some of the richest stands of moss and associated microflora and fauna in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica. This is the only area on Ross Island where protection is specifically given to plant assemblages and associated ecosystems. At that time, SPA No. 20 was enclosed within SSSI No. 10, in order to provide more stringent access conditions to that part of the Area. In 2000, SSSI No. 10 was incorporated with SPA No. 20 by Measure 1 (2000), with the former area covered by SPA No. 20 becoming a Restricted Zone within the revised SPA No. 20. The boundaries of the Area were revised from the boundaries in the original recommendations, in view of improved mapping and to follow more closely the ridges enclosing the catchment of New College Valley. Caughley Beach itself was adjacent to, but never a part of, the original Area, and for this reason the entire Area was renamed as New College Valley, which was within both of the original sites. The Area was redesignated by Decision 1 (2002) as Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No. 116 and a revised Management Plan was adopted through Measure 1 (2006).

In contrast to a traditional TX 77204, USA. E-mail: [email protected] conceptual model of glacial sediment distribution in fjords, grain size in Flandres Bay generally coarsens from the inner to outer bay. The smallest grain size sediments were found in the bay head and are interpreted as fine-grained deposits resulting from meltwater plumes and sediment gravity flows occurring close to the glacier front. The middle of the bay is characterized by a high silt percentage, which correlates to diatom-rich sediments. Sediments in the outer bay have a high component of coarse material, which is interpreted as being the result of winnowing from currents moving from the Bellingshausen Sea into the Gerlache Strait. Palaeoenvironmental reconstructions of glacial environ- ments often use grain size as an indicator of proximity to the ice margin.
