	Australian Antarctic Territory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT) is the part of Antarctica claimed by Australia.
		However, since Australia's signature of the Antarctic Treaty, territorial claims are effectively suspended, and the Australian Antarctic Division administers the area primarily by supporting various research projects.
		On 11 February 1954, Mawson Station was established as the first Australian station on the continent proper.

	Time to Krill? crucial antarctic ecosystem threatened
		Antarctic krill are mainly herbivorous feeding on the phytoplankton (microscopic suspended plants) of the Southern Ocean but planktonic animals (zooplankton) may also form a part of their diet.
		This is the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, designed to protect the Antarctic ecosystem from the consequences of a rapidly expanding krill fishery and to aid recovery of the great whales and some of the overexploited species of fish.
		Although the fishery for Antarctic krill is not turning out to be the cornucopia that many had imagined, it is also not turning out to be the environmental scourge that it had the potential to be; in fact, it may end up being the agent for the restoration of the Antarctic ecosystem.

	Antarctica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The continent of Antarctica is located mostly south of the Antarctic Circle, surrounded by the Southern Ocean.
		Physically Antarctica is divided in two by mountains close to the neck between the Ross Sea and the Weddell Sea.
		The Antarctic Treaty prohibits any measures of a military nature in Antarctica, such as the establishment of military bases and fortifications, the carrying out of military manoeuvres, or the testing of any type of weapon.

		The Antarctic Large Marine Ecosystem is defined by the Antarctic Convergence (or Antarctic Polar Front), the boundary oscillating between 48 and 60 degrees of South Latitude that separates the colder Antarctic surface waters from the warmer sub-Antarctic waters to the North.
		Antarctic ice seals, Antarctic fur seals and seabirds are studied by many laboratories around the world.
		The Antarctic continent and surrounding Southern Ocean are administered under the Antarctic Treaty system which is the whole complex of arrangements made for regulating relations among states in the Antarctic.

		Australian Antarctic Division projects totalling $6.35million will result in Antarctica's first large-scale wind turbine installation, providing nearly a megawatt of power to Australia's Mawson station.
		When the system is fully developed, an Antarctic station will for the first time be able to use a renewable source to meet virtually all its energy needs.
		The use of diesel fuel to power Australia's Antarctic activities is from an environmental perspective far from ideal.

		Keith Reid, a penguin expert with the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge, said: "Adeles will often walk a long way back to their colonies to breed in the expectation the ice will disappear during the time they are incubating the eggs.

		The Australian Antarctic Division continued to operate Wilkes for ANARE until 1969, when because of inundation by snow, Wilkes was replaced by the Australian designed and built station, Casey some two kilometres away.
		The ongoing upgrade of facilities at Australia's Antarctic stations since 1969, combined with state of the art satellite communication facilities, has enabled a greater emphasis to be placed on research that provides information and data, vital to further understanding global climate change and the role of the Antarctic in global systems.
		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 (1, 8).
