A. Wilson 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS With grateful thanks to Neil Sandford, for his time, his kind permission to use his diary and photographs, and for some very entertaining and enlightening discussions. With thanks also to my supervisor Peter Hempenstall for his advice and support, Natalie Cadenhead for her many gems of information, and Andrew Atkin and Fiona Wills for not allowing me to become diverted too often. INTRODUCTION 3 Just after midwinter in 1911, following a rollicking solstice party, three men from Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s last expedition set off to gather penguin eggs from Cape Crozier, at the eastern end of Ross Island in Antarctica. Fresh embryos were needed to prove the then current theory that the primitive emperor penguin was a link between birds and dinosaurs, and specifically that feathers had evolved from scales. The Emperor penguin is the only Antarctic creature to breed in midwinter: hence the need to travel in the worst conditions the continent has to offer. The men very nearly died. They travelled the 70-odd miles from Cape Evans to Cape Crozier in almost complete darkness, and in temperatures so cold that their teeth cracked. They lost their tent, essential to keep them alive, in a blizzard, and by a miracle found it again.

  • Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No 123 BARWICK and BALHAM VALLEYS, SOUTHERN VICTORIA LAND
    MEASURE 6 - ANNEX Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No 123 BARWICK AND BALHAM VALLEYS, SOUTHERN VICTORIA LAND 1. Description of values to be protected An area of 325km2 at Barwick Valley, including part of adjacent Balham Valley, was originally designated in Recommendation VIII-4 (1975, SSSI No 3) after a proposal by the United States of America on the grounds that it was "one of the least disturbed and contaminated of the Dry Valleys of Victoria Land" and was important as a reference base against which to measure changes in comparable ecosystems of the other Dry Valleys where scientific investigations were being regularly conducted. The site remains distant from field stations and has not been subjected to intensive visitation or research. The Barwick Valley was first visited in 1958 and several subsequent expeditions were conducted in the 1960s through to 1975, after which time visits have been few because of the designation of the SSSI. Although some human impacts from these early expeditions were visible within the region in 1993-94, Barwick and Balham Valleys are believed to remain one of the least impacted areas in the Victoria Land Dry Valleys region of Antarctica. The boundaries of the original Area were enlarged in 2002 (Measure 1) to include more of the Balham Valley catchment, and rationalized to exclude the Victoria Upper Glacier catchment which was previously within the Area, resulting in a total area of 480km2. The current Management Plan has been updated to include additional provisions to reduce the risk of microbial and vegetation introductions from soils at other Antarctic sites, or from regions outside Antarctica.
