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.

Vilas3 1CONICET, University of Mar del Plata, Argentina 2CONICET, University of La Pampa, Argentina 3University of Vigo, Spain In 1985, six coastal geologists (Silvia Lendaro, Gustavo González Bonorino, Jorge Fasano - all from the National Research Council of Argentina, and the authors) crossed the Andes Cordillera at the Eastern extreme of the Isla Grande of Argentina’s Tierra del Fuego (Peninsula Mitre). Departing by truck from Ushuaia, Argentina, which lies along the Beagle Channel, we arrived at San Pablo Cape on the Atlantic coast of the island (Figure 1). A helicopter carried us in groups to Valentín Bay, an ancient fjord facing south and very close to the Le Maire Strait. We stayed at a research campsite where archaeologists were digging old human occupations sites (Figure 2), located very close to a Nothofagus forest (barren) that is impacted by strong southerly winds. The six geologists (with two more companions) then prepared to walk across the Andes over three days to reach a former seal factory on the northern Atlantic coastline. Previously the helicopter had transferred food to both the Atlantic seal factory and to an intermediate location in Buen Suceso Bay (originally named Bay of the Good Success), in front of Staten Island. The main purpose of the excursion was to make an inventory of the natural resources of the region, and to describe the dynamics of the different bays along the Le Maire Strait (Isla, 1994). Figure 1.

The eight species involved are the following: European hare (Lepus europaeus), European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), wild boar (Sus scrofa), and red deer (Cervus elaphus) were all introduced from Europe (Austria, France, Germany, and Spain) to either or both Chilean and Argentine Patagonia. American beaver (Castor canadensis) and muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) were introduced from Canada to Argentine Tierra del Fuego Island (shared with Chile). The American mink (Mustela vison) apparently was brought from the United States of America to both Chilean and Argentine Patagonia, independently. The native grey fox (Pseudalopex griseus) was introduced from Chilean to Argentine Tierra del Fuego.

Materia Historia del Esquí Autores: Pablo Rosenkjear - Justy Olivieri - Julio Fernández - Billy Vecchiet HISTORIA DEL ESQUI MUNDIAL Recopilación realizada por Pablo Rosenkjer Si bien el esquí y sus usos han sido constatados como elementos que datan desde unos 2500 años antes de Cristo, es decir 4500 años antes de nuestra actualidad, no se cuenta con una bibliografía muy abundante sobre el tema, y menos aun en nuestro país. - Hasta alrededor del año 1920 era creencia, basado en los hallazgos de distintos elementos, específicamente una pintura rupestre descubierta en una gruta de Baliska, cerca de Uppsala, Suecia, representando un cazador sobre esquís, que el inicio del Ski se había producido alrededor del año 550 después de cristo, pero, las investigaciones y nuevos hallazgos de los últimos años, específicamente en los pantanos del norte de Escandinavia, han hecho retroceder los conocimientos en el tiempo, estableciéndose esta nueva fecha, es decir, 2500 años antes de cristo.- De esta manera, hoy se puede dividir la historia del Ski en cinco grandes capítulos: 1) La época primaria, desde 2500 años antes de Cristo hasta aproximadamente el año 900 después de Cristo, basado en los hallazgos fósiles y pinturas rupestres. - 2) El florecimiento inicial del antiguo ski nórdico, entre los años 900 y 1250.- 3) Una obscura edad media, entre los años 1250 y 1865.- 4) La asociación del ski a los movimientos en pro de los deportes al aire libre, desde mediados del siglo 19, en las especialidades “nórdicas” (fondo y salto). - 5) El desarrollo, a partir de fines del siglo 19 y principio del siglo 20, del ski “alpino” (descenso y slalom).- LA EPOCA PRIMARIA Una importante serie de diferentes hallazgos de restos de esquís y pinturas rupestres, la mayoría de ellos en Escandinavia, son los que permiten ir hilvanando esa época.

Though some, not all, of these objections were ostensibly addressed in their responses, they were not addressed fully nor adequately. I raised concerns regarding Meadows assumptions on growth in demand for Alpine skiing. The last ten years MHM stated continued growth trends, but actually the most recent previous two years that has not been the trend. The true growth is in Nordic skiing. The majority of the Nordic community is against the creation of the Twilight lot without a comprehensive analysis of potential future use of this terrain, and nearby Nordic trails and connecting trails. This type of analysis has not been done, and would be precluded by proceeding with the construction of the Twilight lot before all future use options have been considered. Second, I asked that MHM be required by the FS to place the funds, $500,000, for a Nordic center in a designated account for a future Nordic center building, and a restrictive timeline for construction. If the parking lot is to be built, the Nordic community should have some prior input on the Nordic facility to be built prior to the lots final approval. The response that was posted simply stated that "a" facility would be built within three years.

Received: 21 December 2019; Accepted: 19 January 2020; Published: 22 January 2020 Abstract: This study examines the distribution and seasonal evolution of hydrographic, hydrodynamic, and nepheloid layers in Ushuaia Bay and the submerged glacial valley that connects it to the Beagle Channel. The hydrographic structure is highly seasonal, with a total mixing of the water column in winter and the appearance of a pycnocline between 50 and 70 m deep from spring to late autumn, mainly due to desalination. A counter-clockwise current sweeps the entire bay regardless of the season or phase of the tide. This current is at its maximum in the surface layer, allowing the rapid renewal of the bay’s waters, while deep currents are weak and imply a slow renewal of the valley’s waters.

Jackson School of Geosciences, University of Texas at Austin Austin, TX 78759, Texas, USA 4 Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences, Stanford University CA 94305, California, USA ABSTRACT Located at 54º S in the heart of the Island of Tierra del Fuego, Lago Fagnano occupies the deepest of a chain of en-echelon tectonic depressions along the Magallanes-Fagnano Transform system (MFT). A recent geophysical campaign combining 3.5 kHz (pinger) single-channel with 1 in3 airgun multi-channel systems surveyed more than 100 m of glacio-lacustrine sediments filling two main sub-basins. These data provide a unique opportunity to visualize the most recent lacustrine sequence with high-resolution while simultaneously imaging the oldest infill. A preliminary seismic stratigraphic analysis of the high-resolution 3.5 kHz pinger data allowed the identi- fication of three major seismostratigraphic units (A, the oldest and C, the youngest). While unit A is interpreted as glacially derived sediments, the overlying unit B is interpreted as fining upward sequences of proglacial tur- bidites reflecting sediment pulses released by the retreating Fagnano glacier during the last deglaciation.

En primer lugar al profesor Eduardo Díaz, quien supo guiarme durante la elaboración del trabajo, dedicando parte de su tiempo a esta investigación. A mi tía Susana Aguirre, quien fue la impulsora de este trabajo y me ayudó en los momentos precisos, a mi madre, quien siempre estuvo presente, a mis hermanos, especialmente a Manuel, quien fue vital para la concreción de este objetivo, y todos aquellos que con su apoyo y estimulo me ayudaron a transitar este proceso de elaboración de la tesis que implica el cierre de una carrera y una gran etapa de mi vida. Resumen La presente tesis trata de demostrar la importancia que tiene el esquí en la actividad turística y su incidencia económica en la localidad de San Martín de los Andes, situada en el sudoeste de la provincia de Neuquén. Estructurada en 9 capítulos y basada en la hipótesis de que el turismo invernal es una importante fuente de ingresos para la localidad, siendo el esquí el factor determinante de la afluencia turística, se intenta desarrollar un recorrido investigativo en el que se comparan exhaustivamente distintas variables las cuales convergen en una mayor actividad económica durante la temporada invernal en detrimento de la estival.
