AD-A273 018 Notes on Antarctic Aviation AD-A273 018 Notes on Antarctic Aviation Malcolm Mellor August 1993 ................... ......... ................ ......... ..... ...... .. .... .. .. .. ...... .......... .. :.:....... .. .. .. a .**.*.*..*~.*/o.il B ~ *NN Abstract Antarctic aviation has been evolving for the best part of a century, with regular air operations developing over the past three or four decades. Antarctica is the last continent where aviation still depends almost entirely on expeditionary airfields and *bush flying,' but change seems imminent. This report describes the history of aviation in Antarctica, the types and characteristics of existing and proposed airfield facilities, and the characteristics of aircraft suitable forAntarctic use. It now seems possible for Antarctic aviation to become an extension of mainstream international aviation. The basic requirement is a well-distributed network of hard-surface airfields thatcon be used safely by conventional aircraft, togetherwith good international collaboration. Thetechnical capabilities already exist. Cover: Douglas R4D Que Sera Sera, which made the first South Pole land•,,g on 31 October 1956. (Smithsonian Institution photo no. 4007 1.)

PREFACE This report was prepared by Dr. Malcolm Mellor, Experimental Engineering Division, U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, just prior to his death in August 1991. We hope that final efforts to assemble and edit this lengthy and detailed document have not overlooked or created problems normally caught by his keen editorial eye. This report started as a much shorter note and grew, primarily because of Malcolm's long involvement in trafficability and transportation research in polar regions. His early interest in gliders, his experience as a pilot and a designer of snow and ice runways, and his decades of use of specialized aircraft for polar operations account for his enthusiasm in preparing this work. The commentary and perceptions found throughout the text, as well as the many photographs taken by Malcolm, some during his early involvement with the Australian Antarctic program, all reflect his first-hand experience and knowledge. Malcolm is shown here at the controls of a Soviet Ilyushin Il-18D used by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition. This report was prepared as part of CRREL's research and engineering efforts in support of the National Science Foundation's Antarctic Program. m,--"-II CONTENTS Page Preface

  • Development Pressures on the Antarctic Wilderness
    XXVIII ATCM – IP May 2004 Original: English Agenda Items 3 (Operation of the CEP) and 4a (General Matters) DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES ON THE ANTARCTIC WILDERNESS Submitted to the XXVIII ATCM by the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES ON THE ANTARCTIC WILDERNESS 1. Introduction In 2004 the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition (ASOC) tabled information paper ATCM XXVII IP 094 “Are new stations justified?”. The paper highlighted proposals for the construction of no less than five new Antarctic stations in the context of at least 73 established stations (whether full year or summer only), maintained by 26 States already operating in the Antarctic Treaty Area. The paper considered what was driving the new station activity in Antarctica, whether or not it was necessary or desirable, and what alternatives there might be to building yet more stations. Whilst IP 094 focused on new station proposals, it noted that there were other significant infrastructure projects underway in Antarctica, which included substantial upgrades of existing national stations, the development of air links to various locations in Antarctica and related runways, and an ice road to the South Pole. Since then, ASOC has become aware of additional proposals for infrastructure projects. This paper updates ASOC’s ATCM XXVII IP 094 to include most infrastructure projects planned or currently underway in Antarctica as of April 2005, and discusses their contribution to cumulative impacts. The criteria used to select these projects are: 1. The project’s environmental impact is potentially “more than minor or transitory”; 2. The project results in a development of infrastructure that is significant in the Antarctic context; 3.
