	The Adelie Land in Antarctica
		Adelie Land, just like the sub-antarctic Kerguelen, Crozet and Amsterdam islands, is part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (TAAF).
		Adelie Land is part of the Antarctic continent, unlike the other islands of the TAAF which are in the south of the Indian Ocean (see the map opposite).
		In Adelie Land, the climate is all the harder as one moves away from the coast towards the inland, where altitude quickly reaches an average of 2 500 m.

	Adelie Penguins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Adelie penguins are the smallest of the penguins living on the Antarctica continent.
		Adelie penguins were named after the wife of a French explorer in the 1830s.
		Adelie penguins have to defend their nests from other penguins who try to steal pebbles, stones, and other nest building materials.

	Adelie Penguins
		An Adelie penguin on land is an ungainly thing, but in water, it moves like a salmon and, when traveling fast, clears the surface every few seconds to breathe.
		Adelie penguins are highly gregarious both on breeding stations and at sea.
		Adelie penguins that breed on the mainland are able to complete their breeding cycles before sea ice disperses.

	Adelie penguin
		Adelie Penguins show a number of specialised adaptations to the cold often encountered by this species that restrict heat loss.
		At sea Adelie Penguins are usually found from the edge of the shelf-ice to the northern extent of the pack-ice.
		Adelie Penguins are migratory and after breeding do not return to their colonies until the next spring.

	ABANDONED PENGUIN COLONIES AND CLIMATE CHANGE
		The presence of bones of adult and juvenile Adelie penguins at all sites except on Cormorant Island, and the absence of bones that could be verified as other pygoscelid species, suggests that these colonies were occupied in the past only by the former species.
		These data further suggest that Adelie penguins may have shifted their diet from a relatively greater proportion of squid prior to the LIA to a greater proportion of fish during the LIA, perhaps in response to warming and cooling cycles that may have affected prey abundance.
		The high abundance of squid beaks in the sediments of the modern Adelie penguin colonies also is of interest as squid are rarely encountered in stomach samples from living Adelie penguins (Williams 1995).

	Sub-Antarctic and Polar bird life
		Adelie rookeries are on solid land, usually on a point facing the sun with good access to the sea without too much scrambling and of gentle slope.
		Adelies are quite capable of walking twenty miles just to have a look at your camp, but they seem to prefer open water or least a good open lead to dive into, not some pokey little seal hole.
		Through the winter the Adelie drifts north with the pack and stays near the edge of open water, in the spring he works his way south and by November is seen pottering about the ice-edges at the northern limit of McMurdo Sound and not far from the Rookeries.

		Within the next 20 years sealers and whalers explored present-day Enderby Land on the eastern continental coast, Graham Land (now the northern part of the Antarctic Peninsula) and Adelaide Island off its coast, and the Sabrina Coast of East Antarctica and the neighboring Balleny Islands.
		Ross charted the volcanic island and the massive ice shelf that now bear his name; he also discovered present-day Victoria Land and located the south magnetic pole, which at that time was positioned among Victoria Land’s mountains.
		In 1933 Britain claimed the sectors of East Antarctica that BANZARE had explored as an Australian territory; this area was formally declared the Australian Antarctic Territory in 1936.

	Penguins: Adelie Penguins - Pygoscelis adeliae
		They were named from Adélie Land, where they were first scientifically described in 1840 by the French explorer Jules Dumont d’Urville, who named this portion of the Antarctic continent in honor of his wife, Adèle.
		When at sea, Adélie penguins lose their sluggish appearance, common to all penguins on land, to become torpedo-like swimmers that hunt their prey at depths of up to 170m, during dives that can last over 5 minutes.
		However, most of their diving activity is concentrated in the first 50m of the water column, because being visual predators, their maximum dive depth is determined by light penetration.

	Adelie Penguin
		Penguins are very social and found in groups both on land and at sea.
		They often move on the land by sledding down hills on their belly traveling up to 15 miles an hour sliding.
		The Adelie penguin as with other penguins they have a mouth and tongue lined with fleshy, backward pointing spines that help hold slippery prey.

	Sodar in Antarctica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The winds from 90° and 150° constitute the main local circulation and have, most of the time, the characteristics of a katabatic flow while the winds blowing from 180°, arising from the surface temperature difference between the sea and the land, are land breezes.
		Indeed, the SH is strongly correlated with the arrival and departure at the island of a large group of Adelie penguins.
		As Adelie Land is a region where katabatic winds are among the strongest and more frequently observed in Antarctica, it can be expected that the observed vertical velocity reflects the subsidence associated with this meridional circulation.

		Due to the lack of gradual barriers between sea and land in Antarctica, the twenty eight inch Adelie penguin is forced to perform spectacular jumps from the ocean to land of up to four feet.
		Adelie penguins are forced to protect their nests from other penguins (such as the Gentoo penguin) who try to steal pebbles, stones, and other nest building materials.
		On land, Adelie penguins walk on their soles like other penguins while other birds walk on their toes.

		By contrast to these two major sources which are formed by convergence and accumulation of brine-enriched shelf water over wide shelves, the ALBW is formed under strong katabatic winds in a wind-driven coastal polynya in the lee of the Mertz Glacier tongue.
		Although summer cruises have provided a great deal of information on the important ice-ocean processes leading to dense water formation, a monitoring effort is necessary to complement these and to provide a better space-time coverage of the variability of this key region.
		In order to monitor the Adélie Land coastal zone area, we propose a threefold program : - a process study of the MGP area and of the Adélie Depression based on intensive synoptic CTD arrays with biochemistry, year round moored instruments and meteorological measurements taking benefit from available instrumentation from the french Dumont D'Urville base.

	Mawson, Sir Douglas - HighBeam Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		As a member of the scientific staff of Sir Ernest Shackleton's south polar expedition (1907-9), Mawson took part in the famous ascent of Mt. Erebus and the journey to the south magnetic pole.
		From 1911 to 1914 he commanded the Australian antarctic expedition; he studied the antarctic coast W of Cape Adare, spent two winters in Adélie Land (now Adélie Coast), and discovered King George V Land (now George V Coast), while a subordinate party discovered and explored Queen Mary Land (now Queen Mary Coast).
		Using a seaplane in conjunction with his ship, he made many short flights; in the course of this expedition, Mawson charted over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of previously unknown antarctic coast and recharted c.1,500 mi (2,400 km) of vaguely known coasts.

		The French overseas territory known as the Territory of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, which is administered from Paris, is composed of the districts of Crozet, Kenguelen, Saint-Paul and Nouvelle Amsterdam (the Southern Lands) and Adélie Land (Antarctica).
		Adélie Land was the scene of the feat performed by Australian geologist Sir Douglas Mawson in January 1912: after losing two fellow explorers (the first was killed in a crevasse and the second died two weeks later of fatigue), he drifted in search of his base using a make-shift sail
		The French Southern Lands consist of the Crozet Archipelago and the Kerguelen Islands, as well as the Saint Paul Islands and Nouvelle Amsterdam Island, a few degrees to the north.

		In Antarctica, French sovereignty over Adélie Land is exercised under the international treaty of Washington (1959), which froze all territorial claims and affirmed freedom of scientific research throughout the continent.
		Because of the Antarctic treaty, I have assigned Adélie Land to Antarctica for purposes of classification.
		Adélie Land is the slice of Antarctica lying between the longitudes 136° E. and 142° E. Crozet Archipelago includes Île de la Possession (site of Alfred-Faure base), Île de l'Est, the Îles des Pingouins, Île aux Cochons and the Îles des Apôtres.

	Dumont d'Urville station - Adelie Land - Antarctic
		The French station Dumont d'Urville (of the name of the explorer which discovered the Adelie coast on January 20, 1840), is in edge of the Antarctic continent to 2 700 kms of the island of Tasmanie in the south of Australia.
		She is located at the point of the French part of the Antarctic, called the Adelie coast.
		In Dumont d'Urville, the climate is different from the remainder of the Adelie Coast, because a polar oceanic climate reigns there.

	Brief Species Notes
		Some Emperors never set foot on dry land; most Emperor rookeries are found on the Antarctic ice shelves, the male penguins incubate the eggs on their feet during the cold Antarctic winter.
		Emperor penguins are rarely held in captivity, they can only be seen in Antarctica, or in the Penguin Encounter at the Sea World park in San Diego.
		Adelie penguins are the other penguins (besides Emperors) that breed only on the Antarctic continent.

		The first to actually set foot on Antarctic ground was also an American, John Davis, who landed there February 7, 1821 (in the Antarctic Peninsula — across the Drake Passage from the tip of South America).
		In fact, it was nearly 50 years later, in 1897, that the Belgian explorer Adrien Victor Joseph de Gerlache and his crew on board the Belgica landed and — quite unintentionally — spent the first winter stranded there.
		Terre Adélie, a narrow strip of land which runs from the coastline directly to the South Pole, is still a base for French scientists today.

		“Adelie Coast Waltz” and “Affections” sit on one end of the spectrum, moving at an upbeat yet unhurried pace, so that the soundscapes pass by like a narcotic dream.
		You owe it to yourself to find a copy of this album and give it a spin, because Adelie Land is so giddy, so sweet and juicy, just so amazing that it may very well save your life.
