Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antarctica is no longer a 'pole apart'. From a scientific perspective, the Antarctic ice sheet, ocean and climate systems are intimately linked with the global climate and are now seen to be of international significance for understanding climate change. From an economic perspective, the Antarctic is perceived to have great potential as a source of marine resources although the extent of speculated mineral and hydrocarbon resources is unknown. From a conservation perspective, the continent of Antarctica represents the ideal image of unspoiled wilderness. Antarctic Environments and Resources is an accessible and timely new geography of the Antarctic which examines the differing and sometimes conflicting interests in the great southern continent, the Southern Ocean and the subantarctic islands against a background of the physical and natural systems of the region and their interactions. It charts the development of human involvement in the area, focusing on the exploitation of resources from early sealing to modern fisheries, tourism and science, and it assesses the consequent impacts on the natural environment. The text also reviews the emerging framework for future environmental management developed under the Antarctic Treaty System. This is an ideal text for undergraduates studying glacial geomorphology, environmental management, polar regions and the Antarctic.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 7 February 1994, a C-141 departed Christchurch, New Zealand, and landed on the 3050 m (10,000-ft) Pegasus glacial ice runway, located on the Ross Ice Shelf 13 km (8 miles) south of McMurdo, Antarctica. This event marked the final test for a five-year development program to demonstrate the feasibility of a semipermanent glacial ice runway capable of supporting heavy wheeled aircraft at a site easily accessible to McMurdo. In the later phases of developing the glacial ice runway, numerous working flights of LC-130s operating on wheels (rather than skis) moved cargo more efficiently to the South Pole, and the LC-130 and a C-130 carried larger passenger loads to Christchurch. The primary benefit of the Pegasus runway to the U.S. Antarctic Program is its ability to support heavy wheeled aircraft for most of the period of mid-January through November. In the past, only ski-equipped aircraft could land in the McMurdo area during this time period. The Pegasus runway allows increased payloads for the LC-130 (an additional 3600-kg or 8000-lb takeoff weight when using wheels) and provides access for virtually any conventional aircraft. The technology for siting, constructing, maintaining, and operating such a runway is now well understood and is described in detail in this comprehensive report.
