Much of the interior of Antarctica, an ice plateau, has been mapped at a smaller scale and is nearly devoid of features and But large, first-order features are just a few of thousands of toponyms. All of the names are for natural features; scientific named antarctic places. The remaining features to which names stations are not listed.

Some of us had arrived in the southern city of Invercargill on the fertile plains of Southland yesterday and the remainder today. Apart for a fast moving front with rain and wind last evening, today was beautiful and we were soon comfortably settled in the Kelvin Hotel. The expedition team had arrived from Christchurch on Sunday. At the Kelvin Hotel we enjoyed meeting fellow passengers and Nathan Russ who first visited Antarctica when nine years old and became Head Chef when 18. Nathan has for the past decade been Operations Manager for the company. The ship’s Hotel Manager Nikki from Cairns Australia and seasoned Antarctican and Expedition Leader, Samuel Blanc, who has wintered at the French Antarctic station, Dumont D’Urville, was introduced along with the New Zealand Government Department of Conservation Representative, Jenny Ridgen and other members of his team.

  • Growth and Seasonal Energetics of the Antarctic Bivalve Laternula Elliptica from King George Island, Antarctica
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 257: 99–110, 2003 Published August 7 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Growth and seasonal energetics of the Antarctic bivalve Laternula elliptica from King George Island, Antarctica In-Young Ahn1,*, Jeonghee Surh2, You-Gyoung Park2, Hoonjeong Kwon2, Kwang-Sik Choi3, Sung-Ho Kang1, Heeseon J.

In this study, tissue mass and biochemical composition were determined for various tissues of the bivalve Later- nula elliptica (King & Broderip) over a 2 yr period, and its storage and use of energy reserves were investigated with respect to seasonal changes in food level and water temperature. Total ash-free dry mass (AFDM) accumulated rapidly following phytoplankton blooms (with peak values immediately before and after spawning) and was depleted considerably during the spawning and winter periods. Most of the variation was in the muscle, gonads and digestive gland. Spawning peaked in January and February and caused considerable protein and lipid losses in the muscle, gonads and digestive gland. In winter (March to August), the muscle and digestive gland lost considerable mass, while gonad mass increased; this suggests that the muscle tissue and digestive gland serve as major energy depots for both maintenance metabolism and gonad development in winter.

Maria 53-56126, Pisa, Italy ([email protected]) Abstract Cenozoic magmatic rocks of the Transantarctic Mountains provide an important window on the tectonic and magmatic processes of the West Antarctic Rift System. Previous aeromagnetic investigations in northern Victoria Land have delineated Cenozoic volcanic and intrusive complexes assigned to the McMurdo Volcanic Group and Meander Intrusives over the Transantarctic Mountains. We present a new aeromagnetic anomaly map for the region north of the Mariner Glacier to study the extent and spatial distribution of these Cenozoic rocks over the previously unexplored Admiralty Mountains.

The user has requested enhancement of the downloaded file. ARCTIC RIFT COPPER Part of world’s newest metallogenic province: Kiffaanngissuseq Technical Assessment Report Greenfields Exploration Ltd November 2020 This report presents a holistic view of north eastern Greenland’s geology. The empirical evidence of mineralisation and geological record are tied in with mineral system components from global through to prospect scales. The source rocks, geodynamic triggers, pathways, and deposition sites are all identified within a preserved terrane. This work defines the Kiffaanngissuseq metallogenic province, a previously undescribed mineral system. For the first time, we identify a c. 1,250 Ma orogenic event in the basement as the geodynamic trigger related to the basalt- hosted native copper within the Arctic Rift Copper project. A c. 385 Ma fluid migration is identified as the trigger for a second copper-sulphide mineralising event expressed within the project, that also emplaced a distal zinc deposit within Kiffaanngissuseq. This multi-episodal mineral system is supported by a regional geochemical and hydrodynamic framework that is not articulated elsewhere.
