As its days pass, the men wintering at stations on the continent begin to look forward to the sun's return. They celebrate Midwinter's Day in the cheerful knowledge that they are half-way to the end of their winter isolation. This year June is a month of vital importance to all who want Antarctica to remain free from pollution, and the exploitation of its min eral and natural resources. The results of the meeting of Antarctic Treaty nations in Oslo this month may well decide the future of Antartica as a continent for science, the one region where men can still work together in mutual tolerance and trust, free from the pressures of economic rivalry. ANTARCTIC NEW ZEALAND POLICY ON ANTARCTICA Like the New Zealand Antarctic Society, the New Zealand Govern ment firmly believes that a regime to regulate mineral exploration and exploitation in Antarctica is essential if the Antarctic Treaty is to continue to have practical meaning. This indication of New Zealand's policy has been given by the Prime Minister (Mr W. E. Rowling) in reply to a letter from the society which expressed concern at the possible consequences of uncontrolled economic development in Antarctica. Late last year the society set up a could be most serious.

    Landscapes of Exploration February 11 – 31 March 2012 Peninsula Arts Gallery Education Pack Cover image courtesy of British Antarctic Survey Cover image: Launch of a radiosonde meteorological balloon by a scientist/meteorologist at Halley Research Station. Atmospheric scientists at Rothera and Halley Research Stations collect data about the atmosphere above Antarctica this is done by launching radiosonde meteorological balloons which have small sensors and a transmitter attached to them. The balloons are filled with helium and so rise high into the Antarctic atmosphere sampling the air and transmitting the data back to the station far below. A radiosonde meteorological balloon holds an impressive 2,000 litres of helium, giving it enough lift to climb for up to two hours. Helium is lighter than air and so causes the balloon to rise rapidly through the atmosphere, while the instruments beneath it sample all the required data and transmit the information back to the surface. - Permissions for information on radiosonde meteorological balloons kindly provided by British Antarctic Survey.

  • The Antarctic Sun, January 16, 2005
    Published during the austral summer at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, for the United States Antarctic Program January 16, 2005 Bye plane Russians retrieve their plane By Kristan Hutchison Sun staff Russia sent a big plane to pick up the little one this week. Artur Chilingarov, Deputy chairman of the Russian State Duma, returned to Antarctica to retrieve the biplane he had left there three years ago. He came with a group of mechanics and media on an Ilyushin 76 cargo plane, under the auspices of the Russian polar program. “We were sorry we couldn’t return the same year,” Chilingarov said through an interpreter. Chilingarov had been aboard the Antonov 3T biplane when it originally flew from Patriot Hills to South Pole in January 2002. After landing at the Pole, the biplane had a problem when the pilot tried to restart it and had to be left behind. Chilingarov was waiting at Pegasus ice runway when the biplane landed Tuesday after its 6 1/2 hour flight from the Pole. A strong tailwind helped the plane during the flight, allowing it to complete the journey without refueling. The Antonov 3T biplane landed at McMurdo the same way it originally had at the South Pole, show- ing off first by circling the runway and tipping its wings Photo by Kristan Hutchison / The Antarctic Sun at the small cluster of watchers below. Politician and polar explorer Artur Chilingarov, center, welcomes the pilot of the After celebratory hugs and photos, the Russian Antonov 3T biplane after its flight from South Pole to McMurdo Station while Michael See Biplane on page 10 Orkin, from the independent Russian station NTV, films the moment.

    Summary of Sexual Abuse Claims in Chapter 11 Cases of Boy Scouts of America There are approximately 101,135sexual abuse claims filed. Of those claims, the Tort Claimants’ Committee estimates that there are approximately 83,807 unique claims if the amended and superseded and multiple claims filed on account of the same survivor are removed. The summary of sexual abuse claims below uses the set of 83,807 of claim for purposes of claims summary below.1 The Tort Claimants’ Committee has broken down the sexual abuse claims in various categories for the purpose of disclosing where and when the sexual abuse claims arose and the identity of certain of the parties that are implicated in the alleged sexual abuse. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a chart that shows the sexual abuse claims broken down by the year in which they first arose. Please note that there approximately 10,500 claims did not provide a date for when the sexual abuse occurred. As a result, those claims have not been assigned a year in which the abuse first arose. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the state or jurisdiction in which they arose. Please note there are approximately 7,186 claims that did not provide a location of abuse. Those claims are reflected by YY or ZZ in the codes used to identify the applicable state or jurisdiction. Those claims have not been assigned a state or other jurisdiction. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the Local Council implicated in the sexual abuse.

  • (ASPA) No. 121 CAPE ROYDS, ROSS ISLAND
    Measure 2 (2014) Annex Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No. 121 CAPE ROYDS, ROSS ISLAND Introduction Cape Royds lies at the western extremity of Ross Island, McMurdo Sound, at 166°09'56"E, 77°33'20"S. Approximate area: 0.66 km2. The primary reasons for designation are on the grounds that the Area supports the most southerly established Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) colony known, for which there exists a long time series of population data that is of unique and outstanding scientific value. In addition, the Area has important terrestrial and freshwater ecological values, including the most southerly observation of snow algae, the type locality for original descriptions of a number of species of algae, and the unusual presence of a form of Dissolved Organic Matter that is almost entirely microbially-derived. The Area was originally designated as Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) No. 1 in Recommendation VIII-4 (1975) after a proposal by the United States of America. The SSSI designation was extended through Recommendation X-6 (1979), Recommendation XII-5 (1983), Resolution 7 (1995) and Measure 2 (2000). A revision was adopted through Recommendation XIII-9 (1985). The site was renamed and renumbered as Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No 121 by Decision 1 (2002). A revised management plan was adopted through Measure 1 (2002), and then through Measure 5 (2009) when the size of the marine component was reduced. The Area is situated within Environment P – Ross and Ronne-Filchner based on the Environmental Domains Analysis for Antarctica and within Region 9 - South Victoria Land based on the Antarctic Conservation Biogeographic Regions.

  • Antarctica: International Relations in a Cold Climate
    4/9/2016 Antarctica: International relations in a cold climate Antarctica: International relations in a cold climate April 6, 2016 in Earth / Earth Sciences The Vernadsky Research Base, an Ukrainian Antarctic Station at Marina Point on Galindez Island, Antarctica Winter is coming, and like many scientists posted in Antarctica, Bogdan Gavrylyuk is looking forward to going home. It has been a year since the 43-year-old Ukrainian geophysicist started his latest posting, monitoring climatic phenomena on an island off western Antarctica. "Everybody misses home. Everybody has a family or a girlfriend and of course we miss them," he says. "But here, there is a job we have to do." He will ship out from Vernadsky Research Station in early April to make way for his replacement, before the sea freezes over. Scientists call Antarctica the Earth's last wilderness. For some, it is also a paradise of international cooperation. It is home to thousands of researchers and technicians from various countries who share the territory under the Antarctic Treaty. http://phys.org/print379130512.html 1/6 4/9/2016 Antarctica: International relations in a cold climate In Gavrylyuk's office, blinking computer screens show graphs of data from meteorological instruments deployed around the wind-swept base. "We share a lot of important, interesting information between different Antarctic countries—data on the ozone layer, meteorological information, geophysical information. All the countries here are doing the same," he says.
