	James Ross Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Ross Island (64°10′S 57°45′W) is a large island off the southeast side and near the northeastern extremity of Antarctic Peninsula, from which it is separated by Prince Gustav Channel.
		He named it for Sir James Clark Ross, leader of a British expedition to this area in 1842, who discovered and roughly charted a number of points along the eastern side of the island.
		The form James Ross Island is used to avoid confusion with the more widely known Ross Island in McMurdo Sound.

		James Clark Ross was born in 1800 and entered the Royal Navy at the age of 11 under the supervision of his uncle Sir John Ross.
		Ross was keen to repeat his earlier triumph by locating the South Magnetic Pole but was frustrated in this due to its position (then) inland.
		Ross had discovered a large Island which would become the base for many future explorations and is now home to the largest research station in Antarctica, the United States McMurdo station.

	Antarctic Explorers: James Clark Ross
		Ross first thought it to be an ice-blink (a whiteness in the sky caused by the reflection of ice ahead) but as they approached they realized the ice-blink was actually a mountainous, snow-covered land.
		Ross realized there was no possible penetration further as Ross stated that "we might with equal chance of success try to sail through the cliffs of Dover, as to penetrate such a mass".
		Ross was delighted and took pleasure in the fact that their efforts had been "unattended by casualty, calamity, or sickness of any kind, and that every individual on both ships had been permitted to return in perfect health and safety to this southern home".

	James Ross Island Volcanic Group - ABSTRACT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The Middle to Upper Miocene James Ross Island Volcanic Group is composed predominantly of alkalic olivine-basa1t lavas, palagonite-breccias and subordinate palagonite-tuffs.
		Lavas and palagonite-breccias occur either as "deltaic" structures around the margins of James Ross Island, where they probably resulted from aqueous brecciation of large lava streams flowing from a major volcanic centre, or as individual lava/ palagonite-breccia volcanoes, which were produced by the subaqueous initiation of central eruptions.
		Although the first phase certainly post-dates the formation of a major volcanic centre situated near the middle of James Ross Island, the superposition of one lava/palagonite-breccia unit on another indicates that there was a gradual submergence of the area during the formation of the volcanic group.

	Significant Ice Retreat in the Region Patagonia - Antarctic Peninsula Observed by ERS SAR
		This section was fed partly by ice drainage from the Antarctic Peninsula, partly by ice input from James Ross Island, and partly by long-term snow accumulation on fast sea ice.
		The grounding line and the boundary versus ice shelf section 2 (in the upper part of the image) are enhanced, as well as the ice front towards the ocean which was mapped from SAR images of 26 August 1993 and 8 March 1995.
		Lindenberg Island acted as a pinning point that maintained the ice front south of the island, but due to the retreat north of it, the stress vector at the ice front rotated until it was finally aligned parallel to the flow lines.

		Second, the specimen was an exceedingly rare find and one of only six dinosaur fossils that have been discovered in the James Ross region of the Antarctic Peninsula, the landmass that juts north from the southernmost continent towards South America.
		Also, to have been preserved at all, the animal likely floated from the shore out to sea after it died roughly 70 million years ago and settled to the bottom of what was then a very shallow area of the Weddell Sea.
		At the same time, thousands of miles away, a research team led by William Hammer of Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill., was working in the Antarctic interior on a mountaintop roughly 3,900 meters (13,000 feet) high and near the Beardmore Glacier.
