Antarctica Peninsula Sites, 1989 - 2001

As reported by tour operators to IAATO and NSF. Place names and coordinates are from Geographic Names of the Antarctic (1995) with the right column for general reference only. Abbreviations used: SSI - South Shetland Islands; SOI - South Orkney Islands;

KGI - King George Island.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • This list excludes active stations, which should be reported by base name.
  • Use the following standard names for reporting sites where landings are made. In general, use the most specific appropriate name (landing site, anchorage or island)
  • Please advise IAATO of corrections, additions, and especially of duplicate names.
  • This list is not intended to account for non-specific geographic areas where Zodiac cruising may occur or where other activities such as helicopter flights and ice walks occur. Indicating bodies of water (e.g., Antarctic Sound, Admiralty Sound) does not help to identify frequency of visitation to sites and you should not add them to this list. Please continue to indicate these activities, however, on the Post-Visit report.
