The British Williams exploration party led by Captain William Smith discovered the northwest coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. The Russian Vostok and Mirnyy expedition led by Thaddeus Thadevich Bellingshausen sighted parts of the continental coast (Dronning Maud Land) without recognizing what they had seen. 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.

  • Petrology of Inclusion-Rich Lavas at Minna Bluff, Mcmurdo Sound, Antarctica: Implications for Magma Origin, Differentiation, and Eruption Dynamics
    PETROLOGY OF INCLUSION-RICH LAVAS AT MINNA BLUFF, MCMURDO SOUND, ANTARCTICA: IMPLICATIONS FOR MAGMA ORIGIN, DIFFERENTIATION, AND ERUPTION DYNAMICS Mary K. Scanlan A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE August 2008 Committee: Kurt Panter (Ph.D.), Advisor John Farver (Ph.D.) Thom Wilch (Ph.D.) © 2008 Mary Scanlan All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kurt Panter, Advisor Xeno Ridge, a newly discovered group of inclusion-rich deposits located at the top of the Minna Bluff stratigraphic section, formed as a result of magmatic mixing/mingling and provides insight into magma origins, mixing and eruption dynamics, and the evolution of Minna Bluff. Phonolite to tephriphonolite lavas are contain abundant inclusions which vary in size, shape, and mineralogy. Five inclusion types are identified at Xeno Ridge. The lavas that host the inclusions are dark-gray and porphyritic with a hypocrystalline, vesicular groundmass. Minerals within the host lavas include feldspar (plagioclase = An27–An84, alkali feldspar = Ab41Or57−Ab70Or20), amphibole (kaersutite), diopside (~Wo55En35Fs10), titanomagnetite (Ti# 55), olivine (Fo45, Fo81), and apatite. Type I inclusions are highly vesicular with sinuous forms and crenulate margins with the host indicating magmatic mixing/mingling. The mineral assemblage of Type I includes kaersutite (15-20 vol. %), feldspar (plagioclase = An33−An80, alkali feldspar = ~Ab55Or45), diopside (~Wo55En30Fs6), titanomagnetite (Ti# ~75), olivine (Fo48, Fo85) and apatite. Type II inclusions are kaersutite megacrysts and glomerocrysts dominated by kaersutite with subordinate phenocrysts, microphenocrysts and groundmass composed of plagioclase (An20 – An76), titanomagnetite (Ti# 84), diopside (~Wo50En35Fs15), and apatite. Type III is a single porphyritic inclusion with phenocrysts of anorthoclase and is similar in texture and mineralogy to lavas found within the Minna Bluff stratigraphic section.

  • (Site of Special Scientific Interest No. 21) Shores of Deception Island, South Shetland Islands I
    Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 140 (Site of Special Scientific Interest No. 21) Shores of Deception Island, South Shetland Islands i. Description of Site. The Site includes 5 areas on the coast of Port Foster, Deception Island (lat 62o55’S, long 60o37’W): Area A. From the west side of Entrance Point to the west side of Collins Point on the south side of Neptune’s Bellows, and extending 500 m inland from the shore. Area B. Mid Fumarole Bay, south-west of Wensleydale Point extending for 500 m along the shore, to the line precipitous lava cliffs about 100 m inland. Area C. The ‘island’ created during the 1967 eruption in Telefon Bay, and including the low land, containing a lake, which presently joins the new ‘island’ to the main island. Area D. A strip 100 m wide extending from the high-water mark of the heated shoreline of Pendulum Cove inland to a series of gullies about 750 m inland. The area lies about 300 m south of the former Chilean station Pedro Aguirre Cerda. Area E. Kroner Lake including the land within 50 m of its shore. The boundaries of these areas of the Site are shown on the attached map. ASPA 140 Map A* ii. Reason for designation. Deception Island is exceptional because of its volcanic activity, having had major eruption 1967, 1969 and 1970. Parts of the island were completely destroyed, new areas were created, others covered by varying depths of ash. Few areas of the interior were unaffected. The island offers unique 220 opportunities to study colonization processes in an Antarctic environment (the South Sandwich Islands and Bouvetøya are at a more advanced stage of colonization while Mt.

  • Shackleton's Man Goes South
    shackleton’s man goes south ‘With Shackleton’s Man Goes South, Tony White has written a bold novel-cum-manifesto, a prophecy, satire, and warning, and a gripping polar allegory for the era of global warm- ing and human trafficking. In the steps of Swift, Blake and Aldous Huxley, he brings a puzzlemaster’s ingenuity, a polit- ical observer’s despair, a voracious appetite for geo-political know ledge and a storyteller’s sense to create a stark vision of a future that may be coming sooner than anyone can bear to think.’ – Marina Warner Shackleton’s Man Goes South – a novel – Tony White First published in 2013 by the Science Museum, Exhibition Road, London sw7 2dd All rights reserved © Tony White, 2013, with the following exceptions: ‘Albertopolis Disparu’ © Tony White, 2009, and ‘The Beatification of John C.

  • Code of Conduct for Visitors at Deception Island
    Measure 3 (2005) Appendix 5 Code of Conduct for Visitors to Deception Island 1. Introduction This code of conduct has been produced for commercial tour operators (IAATO and non-IAATO affiliated), private expeditions and National Antarctic Programme staff when undertaking recreational visits to Deception Island. There are four sites on Deception Island which may generally be visited: Whalers Bay, Baily Head, Pendulum Cove, and Telefon Bay (east). Stancomb Cove, in Telefon Bay, is also used as an anchorage for yachts. Visits to Decepción Station (Argentina) and Gabriel de Castilla Station (Spain) are only permitted by prior agreement with the respective Station Leaders. Tourist or recreational visits to other sites on the island are discouraged. 2. General Guidelines The following general guidelines apply to all the above sites visited on Deception Island: • Visits are to be undertaken in line with the Management Plan for Deception Island ASMA 4 and with Recommendation XVIII-1. • All visits must be planned and conducted taking into account the significant risk to human life posed by the threat of volcanic eruption. • Expedition Leaders of cruise ships and Masters of national programme support vessels are encouraged to exchange itineraries in order to avoid two ships unintentionally converging on a site simultaneously. • Vessels approaching or departing from Port Foster must announce over VHF Marine Channel 16 the intended time and direction of passage through Neptunes Bellows. • For commercial cruise operators, no more than 100 passengers may be ashore at a site at any time, accompanied by a minimum of one member of the expedition staff for every 20 passengers.
