INTRODUCTION
1. WILDLIFE INFORMATION
1.1 All known breeding colonies of penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica (chinstrap), P. adeliae
(Adélie), P. papua (gentoo), Eudyptes chrysolophus (macaroni)), southern giant petrels
(Macronectes giganteus), Antarctic petrels (Thalassoica antarctica), Antarctic shags
(Phalacrocorax [atriceps] bransfieldensis), southern fulmars (Fulmarus glacialoides), and
Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) are included irrespective of colony size.
1.2 Note: Skuas (Catharacta sp.), gulls (Larus dominicanus), other petrels, etc. and other seals
are not shown and are likely to be present in many locations. Breeding southern giant
petrels are particularly vulnerable to disturbance and are listed as a species of conservation
concern under the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatross and Petrels (ACAP).
1.3 Only previously confirmed breeding colonies are included. However, some records are old
and occasionally colonies may no longer exist, or colonies may now exist in previously
unreported locations.
1.4 THE ABSENCE OF CONCENTRATIONS OF WILDLIFE IN THE MANUAL DOES
NOT NECESSARILY IMPLY THEIR ABSENCE IN THE FIELD. PILOTS SHOULD BE
ATTENTIVE TO SIGNS OF WILDLIFE DISTURBANCE AT ALL TIMES AND TAKE
CORRECTIVE ACTION WHERE PRACTICAL TO AVOID OR MITIGATE THE EFFECTS
OF AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS.
1.5 Bird counts refer to numbers of breeding pairs. Seal counts refer to numbers of individuals.
1.6 Colony locations have been mapped using best available information from a variety of
sources and databases (see reference list below). In some cases it has proven impossible
to determine precise colony location and/or numbers because of map and/or data limitations
(e.g. some small islands are not shown, some numbers are dated). In these cases colonies
have been located as near to the correct location as the information / maps would allow.
1.7 Wildlife information is drawn primarily from published sources listed in the References.
Access to previously unpublished data was kindly provided by: Sally Poncet for Antarctic
shags and southern fulmars; Bill Fraser for data on southern giant petrels breeding near
Palmer Station; Mike Goebel for data on breeding locations of Antarctic fur seals.
1.8 It would be appreciated if any errors, omissions or updates could be drawn to the attention
of the WAM Editor (see below).
2. PROTECTED AREAS
2.1 Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs): shown by either a green circle or outline
depending on their size. ASPAs replace the former designations of Specially Protected Area
(SPA) and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) under the Protocol on Environmental
Protection to the Antarctic Treaty. Permits are required for entry into ASPAs and their
Management Plans must be followed.
2.2 Antarctic Specially Managed Areas (ASMAs): shown by a blue outline. Permits are not
required for entry into ASMAs, although their Management Plans should be followed and a
specific Code of Conduct may apply, including guidelines on landing sites / overflight.
2.3 Historic Sites and Monuments: only included where relevant to wildlife awareness / landing
considerations for maintenance and / or inspection of UK historic bases / structures.

3. MAP DESIGN
3.1 WAM Maps are based on the SCAR Antarctic Digital Database (ADD) (v4.1 2004) which is
compiled from a wide variety of sources at maximum original scales of 1:250,000.
3.2 Maps are in Lambert Conformal Conic projections using the WGS84 Horizontal Datum.
3.3 Latitude and Longitude are in degrees, minutes and seconds. Note: GPS coordinates do
not match map coordinates because of limitations to the spatial accuracy of the ADD.
3.4 Scale bars are in nautical miles and kilometres. Horizontal distances are given in yards
and feet. Horizontal and coordinate accuracy varies across the region, ranging from
approximately ±100 m to ±500 m.
3.5 Contour interval is generally 250 m, with 100 m contours available in a few specific areas.
All heights on maps are in metres.
3.6 Horizontal and vertical distances in this manual are not considered reliable for
aeronautical purposes.
3.7 Site Maps are prepared at scales ranging between 1:200,000 and 1:400,000, depending
on the surrounding geography, the amount of wildlife present, and human features such as
stations. The majority of Site Maps are prepared at 1:250,000.
3.8 All Overview Maps are prepared at a scale of 1:750,000 except that for the South Orkney
Islands which is at 1:600,000 and that for Marguerite Bay (South) which is at 1: 1.5M.
3.9 Maps are oriented with North consistently at the top of the map (not page).
3.10 General guidance on access routes etc. to stations is provided, where available, in order to
reduce the risk of overflight of concentrations of wildlife.
3.11 Refer to AFIM and other aircraft operation manuals for technical aeronautical
information on station access procedures as appropriate. The WAM is not intended
for technical aeronautical purposes.
3.12 Place names used throughout (except stations names) are those formally adopted by the UK
Antarctic Place Names Committee. Station names are those used by the station operator.
3.13 Supplementary maps and photographs are provided in addition to the WAM maps in order
to provide more detailed information at several sites.
3.14 In general, all data have been drawn from the references cited below. For very site-specific
information, sources are noted under "Information sources and dates" in the site details.

GUIDELINES FOR THE OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT

NEAR CONCENTRATIONS OF BIRDS IN ANTARCTICA
RESOLUTION 2 (2004)
ANTARCTIC TREATY CONSULTATIVE MEETING XXVII
Fixed and rotary wing aircraft operations have the potential to cause disturbance leading to changes in
the behaviour, physiology and the breeding success of wildlife. The level of impact will vary according to
the intensity, duration and frequency of disturbance, the species involved and the phase in their breeding
season. Most species are particularly sensitive to disturbance between late September and early May – the
period when Antarctic helicopter and fixed wing operations usually occur.
There are many variables affecting noise levels received on the ground during aircraft operations, including:
flight height; the type of aircraft and engine; the flight profile; the weather; and the geography of the location.
Pilots have to make the final judgement regarding aircraft operations based on the aircraft type, task and safety
considerations. Such judgments should also pay due consideration to potential wildlife impacts, noting that
Annex II of the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty defines that “harmful interference”
means flying or landing helicopters or other aircraft in a manner that disturbs concentrations of birds and seals”.
Minimum recommended separation distances for aircraft operations close to concentrations of birds are
set out below. These recommended distances should be maintained to the greatest extent possible,
unless greater separation distances are specified for the area of operation, for example by an ASPA or
ASMA management plan or guidelines already developed by national operators to suit their own particular
needs and circumstances. These distances are only a guide and if wildlife disturbance is observed at any
separation distance, a greater distance should be maintained wherever practical:
• Penguin, albatross and other bird colonies are not to be over flown below 2000ft (~610 m) Above Ground
Level, except when operationally necessary for scientific purposes.
• Landings within 1/2 nautical mile (~930 m) of penguin, albatross or other bird colonies should be avoided
wherever possible.
• Never hover or make repeated passes over wildlife concentrations or fly lower than necessary.
• Maintain a vertical separation distance of 2000 ft (~610 m) AGL and a horizontal separation of 1/4 nautical
mile (~460 m) from the coastline where possible.
• Cross the coastline at right angles and above 2000ft (~610 m) AGL where possible.
Location of aircraft operations (other considerations)

• Where practical, avoid overflying concentrations of birds.
• Be aware that concentrations of birds are most often found in coastal areas. Snow petrel and Antarctic
petrel colonies are also frequently found inland on nunataks. Minimum vertical separation distances should
be maintained in these areas.
• Where practical, landings near to concentrations of birds should be downwind and/or behind a prominent
physical barrier (e.g. hill) to minimise disturbance.
• Avoid Antarctic Specially Protected Areas, unless authorised to over-fly and/or land by a permit issued by
an appropriate national authority. For many ASPAs there are specific controls on aircraft operations, which
are set out in the relevant Management Plans.
• Follow aircraft flight heights, preferred flight paths and approach paths contained in the Antarctic Flight
Information Manual (AFIM), in station aircraft operation manuals and on relevant charts, maps and any
Wildlife and Low Flying Avoidance Maps for the major airstrips in the Antarctic (e.g. Marsh, Marambio,
Rothera, McMurdo).
• Particularly avoid flying toward concentrations of birds immediately after take-off and avoid steep banking
turns in flight as these significantly increase the amount of noise generated.
Timing of aircraft operations

• Most native bird species breed at coastal locations in Antarctica between September and May each season.
During the planning of aircraft operations near to concentrations of birds, consideration should be given to
undertaking flying activities outside of the main breeding and/or moulting periods.
• Where aircraft operations are necessary close to concentrations of birds, then the duration of flights should
be the minimum necessary.
• To minimise bird strikes, especially in coastal areas, avoid flying after dark between September and May. At this
time of year, prions and petrels are active. These birds are nocturnal when breeding and are attracted by lights.
• Aircraft operations should be delayed or cancelled if weather conditions (e.g. cloud base, winds) are such
that the suggested minimum vertical and horizontal separation distances given in these guidelines cannot
be maintained.
