ABSTRACT: In Snow Hill and Seymour islands the lower Maastrichtian, basal part of the López de Bertodano Formation, rests on a high relief, erosi- ve surface elaborated in the underlying Snow Hill Island Formation. Mudstone-dominated beds with inclined heterolithic stratification dominate the basal strata of the López de Bertodano Formation. They consist of rhythmical alternations of friable sandy- and clayey- mudstone couplets, with ripple cross lamination, mud drapes, and flaser bedding. They are characterized by a marked lenticular geometry, reflecting the filling of tide-influenced channels of various scales and paleogeographic positions within a tide-dominated embayment or estuary. Major, sand-rich channel fills, up to 50-m thick, bounded by erosive surfaces probably represent inlets, located on a more central position in the estuary. Minor channel fills, 1- to 3-m thick, associated with offlapping packages with inclined heterolithic stratification pro- bably represent the lateral accretion of point bars adjacent to migrating tidal channels in the upper estuary. Both types of channel fills bear relatively abundant marine fauna, are intensively bioturbated, and are interpreted as a network of subtidal channels. In southwestern Snow Hill Island, the minor offlapping packages have scarce marine fossils and bear aligned depressions interpreted as poor preserved dinosaur footprints.

They discovered Peter I Island in January of 1821. • 1841 James Clark Ross sailed with the Erebus and the Terror through the ice in the Ross Sea, and mapped 900 kilometres of the coast. He discovered Ross Island and Mount Erebus. • 1892-93 Financed by Chr. Christensen from Sandefjord, C. A. Larsen sailed the Jason in search of new whaling grounds. The first fossils in Antarctica were discovered on Seymour Island, and the eastern part of the Antarctic Peninsula was explored to 68° 10’ S. Large stocks of whale were reported in the Antarctic and near South Georgia, and this discovery paved the way for the large-scale whaling industry and activity in the south.

    1 Inhabiting the Antarctic Jessica O'reilly & Juan Francisco Salazar

    Inhabiting the Antarctic Jessica O’Reilly & Juan Francisco Salazar Introduction The Polar Regions are places that are part fantasy and part reality.1 Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered (1819–1820) and the only landmass never inhabited by indigenous people.2 While today thousands of people live and work there at dozens of national bases, Antarctica has eluded the anthropological imagination. In recent years, however, as anthropology has turned its attention to extreme environments, scientific field practices, and ethnographies of global connection and situated globalities, Antarctica has become a fitting space for anthropological analysis and ethnographic research.3 The idea propounded in the Antarctic Treaty System—that Antarctica is a place of science, peace, environmental protection, and international cooperation—is prevalent in contemporary representations of the continent. Today Antarctic images are negotiated within a culture of global environmentalism and international science. Historians, visual artists, and journalists who have spent time in the Antarctic have provided rich accounts of how these principles of global environmentalism and 1 See for instance Adrian Howkins, The Polar Regions: An Environmental History (Cambridge, UK: Polity, 2016). 2 Archaeological records have shown evidence of human occupation of Patagonia and the South American sub-Antarctic region (42˚S to Cape Horn 56˚S) dating back to the Pleistocene–Holocene transition (13,000–8,000 years before present). The first human inhabitants south of 60˚S were British, United States, and Norwegian whalers and sealers who originally settled in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands during the early 1800s, often for relatively extended periods of time, though never permanently 3 See for instance Jessica O’Reilly, The Technocratic Antarctic: An Ethnography of Scientific Expertise and Environmental Governance (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2017); Juan Francisco Salazar, “Geographies of Place-making in Antarctica: An Ethnographic Approach,” The Polar Journal 3, no.

POLAND 31 Instituto Antarctico Ąrgcntino, Cerrito 1248. Capital Federal, ARGENTINA Numbers of Adelie penguins breeding at Hope Bay and Seymour Island rookeries (West Antarctica) in 1985 ABSTRACT: At the turn of October 1985, the abundance of breeding Adelie penguins was estimated at the Hope Bay oasis on the Antarctic Peninsula and on Seymour Island. In the Hope Bay rookery, 123850 pairs of penguins were recorded, beginning their breeding at the end of October. Data so far obtained indicate a continuous increase in the number of birds sat this rookery. On the other hand, the Seymour Island colony consisted of 21954 pairs of Adelie penguins. Clear differences in the geomorphological structure of areas occupied by penguins in those two places are discussed. No gentoo penguins were detected in either of the colonies. Key words: Antarctica. Hope Bay, Seymour Island, Adelie penguins. 1. Introduction Birds occurring in south polar regions for long have attracted much attention due to their importance in the functioning of the marine Antarctic ecosystem. The great abundance of these few species makes them play a significant role in the economy of energy of the Southern Ocean (Croxall 1984, Laws 1985). Among these birds penguins are dominant, comprising over 90% of the bird biomass in this region. The Adelie penguins, in turn, are one of the most numerous of the Antarctic species.

    Analysis and Prediction of Changes in the Temperature of the Pure Freshwater Ice Column in the Antarctic and the Arctic

    Analysis and prediction of changes in the temperature of the pure freshwater ice column in the Antarctic and the Arctic A.A. Fedotov, V.V. Kaniber, P.V. Khrapov Abstract – This paper investigates the initial boundary value problem for a non-stationary one-dimensional heat equation that simulates the temperature distribution in freshwater ice near the Earth's poles. The mathematical model has been constructed taking into account solid-liquid phase transitions. Data from meteorological stations were used to determine the model parameters, with the help of which the necessary physical and thermophysical characteristics of the computational domain were obtained. For the numerical solution of the problem, the finite volume method (FVM) was used. In order to analyze changes in the temperature field of ice and determine the time required to reach a non-stationary periodic regime, graphs of temperature versus depth were plotted for January at two stations. The study of the results showed that it takes about 50 years of modeling with constant initial data for the temperature of an ice layer up to 20 m deep to reach the periodic regime. For the obtained periodic regime, the temperature versus depth dependences for each month were plotted, and the depth of the active layer, as well as the depth of zero annual amplitudes were found for each meteorological station. A forecast of the ice temperature regime for 2100 was modeled for three Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios of global warming: moderate RCP2.6, corresponding to the current emissions of RCP7 and adopted at the Paris Agreement in 2015 RCP1.9.
