1 Name and location
Moe Island, South Orkney Islands.
2 Description
Moe Island, South Orkney Islands, is a small irregularly‑shaped island lying 300 m off the south‑western extremity of Signy Island, separated by Fyr Channel. It is approximately 1.3 km from the northeast to southwest and 1 km from the northwest to southeast. The position of Moe Island on Admiralty Chart No. 1775 (60°44′S, 45°45′W) does not align closely with the more accurate coordinates in the map (60°44′S, 45°41′W).
The boundary coordinates of the Area, starting with the most north‑westerly position and moving clockwise, are as follows:
(a) 60°43′40″S, 45°42′15″W;
(b) 60°43′40″S, 45°40′30″W;
(c) 60°43′55″S, 45°40′10″W;
(d) 60°44′40″S, 45°40′10″W;
(e) 60°44′40″S, 45°42′15″W.
The Area includes all of Moe Island and unnamed adjacent islands and islets. The Area comprises all of the ice‑free ground, permanent ice and semi‑permanent ice found within the boundaries, but excludes the part of the marine environment that is further than 10 m offshore from the low tide water line (as indicated in the map).
Boundary markers have not been installed because the coast itself is a clearly defined and visually obvious boundary.

1 Name and location
Coppermine Peninsula, Robert Island, South Shetland Islands.
Latitude 62°24′S, longitude 59°30′W.
2 Description
Coppermine Peninsula is located at the north‑western end of Robert Island. It covers an elongated strip (2 km long by 500 m wide), from the isthmus connecting Robert Island to Cape Fort Williams. It has an irregular relief, with average heights of 30 to 40 m above sea level, and many protrusions reaching over 80 m above sea level, such as the basaltic columns of Neptune’s Cathedral and the snout near the facilities at Luis Risopatrón Base (Chile).
The Coppermine Peninsula extends from Cape Morris to Triplet Hill, separating Carlota and Coppermine Coves. This peninsula is the most westerly area of Robert Island and ends in the western tip at Fort Williams, a cape with striking features, such as Morris Rock, located in the coastal area.
The peninsula is connected to Robert Island through a terrace‑shaped isthmus featuring marine gravel, approximately 10 m above sea level and 250 m wide. The isthmus is interrupted to the east by a small horseshoe‑shaped hill. At the south‑eastern end of Coppermine Cape, the Triplet Hill emerges, with a height of 140 m above sea level.
The Area is shown in grey on the map.

Latitude 77°33′20″S, longitude 166°09′56″E.
2 Description
Cape Royds is located at the western extremity of Ross Island, McMurdo Sound, on a coastal strip of ice‑free land approximately 8 km wide, on the lower western slopes of Mount Erebus. The Area comprises both a terrestrial and a marine component.
The terrestrial component of the Area consists of ice‑free land within approximately 350 m of Flagstaff Point (77°33′21″S, 166°09′55″E) that is seasonally occupied by a breeding Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) colony. The boundary captures all of the area occupied by breeding penguins and the main southern route used by the penguins to access the sea. The marine component comprises an area of sea within 500 m of the Cape Royds coastline, which includes the main penguin access route to the colony.
The boundary of the terrestrial component is as follows:
(a) starting at a small embayment at the north‑western corner of the terrestrial component, it extends northeast for 53 m to a survey mark which is an iron tube embedded in the ground;
(b) then east for 9 m to a signpost (77°33′11.2″S, 166°09′35.2″E);
(c) then east‑northeast for 30 m to a signpost (77°33′10.9″S, 166°09′39.4″E) halfway down the slope of a small hill;
(d) then southeast for 133 m to a signpost (77°33′11.8″S, 166°09′59.0″E) east of Pony Lake;

Site F—Telefon Bay
The site incorporates several features created during the 1967 eruption in Telefon Bay, i.e. Pisagua Hill on the southern side of the site, the small shallow Ajmonecat Lake on the ash plain north of Stancomb Cove and the low flat ash plain extending from the shoreline of Telefon Bay to the steep slopes and lava outcrops approximately 0.5 km inland. Pisagua Hill was created as a new island in 1967, but is, as of 2014, joined to the main island by the aforementioned ash plain. At the northern end of the plain is Extremadura Cove, which was a lake until the narrow isthmus (approximately 2 m wide and 50 m long) separating it from Port Foster was breached in approximately 2006. Extremadura Cove is excluded from the site.
The northern shoreline of the lagoon (Stancomb Cove) at the southwest of Telefon Bay marks the southern boundary of the site, and the south‑western shore of the Extremadura Cove to the north of Telefon Bay marks the north‑eastern boundary of the site. The south‑eastern boundary extends along the shore south of Pisagua Hill, north to the shoreline of the Extremadura Cove at the northern end of Telefon Bay. The north‑western boundary is roughly delineated by the 10 m contour of Telefon Ridge that links Stancomb Cove to Extremadura Cove. Ajmonecat Lake (62°55′23″S, 60°40′45″W), including its shoreline, is included in the site. The shoreline of Telefon Bay is excluded from the site to allow access past the site.

Site G—Pendulum Cove
The site comprises the uneven gentle slope of coarse grey, crimson, and red scoria and occasional disintegrating blocks of yellowish tuff, east‑northeast of Crimson Hill and approximately 0.4 to 0.8 km east of Pendulum Cove. It extends approximately 500 m from west to east and is up to approximately 400 m wide from north to south. It was created largely by the 1969 eruption which destroyed the nearby abandoned Chilean Base (which is declared to be an historic site or an historic monument (site number 76 in the table in Schedule 1 to the Antarctic Treaty (Environment Protection — Historic Sites and Monuments) Proclamation 2007)). The site includes the slope and undulating plateau behind Pendulum Cove.
The western boundary follows the 40 m contour line and the eastern boundary follows the 140 m contour line east‑southeast of Pendulum Cove. The northern and southern boundaries follow the edge of the volcanic debris‑covered permanent ice that borders the site.

(v) 74°21′19.650″S, 164°41′37.695″E (Point 1B);
(f) then back to Point 1A.
Both the northern and southern boundaries are located below the ice‑free ridge.
The second location (Geothermal Slope) on the south‑eastern rim of the main summit crater of Mount Melbourne is adjacent to Cryptogam Ridge on a slope leading up the eastern rim of the summit crater. Geothermal activity is evident on the hill slope as crevasses and ice towers extending up the steep caldera rim, approximately 50 m wide.
The boundary is as follows:
(a) starting at the north‑western boundary corner at 74°21′13.740″S, 164°42′01.816″E (Point 2A), it extends south approximately 50 m to the south‑western boundary corner at 74°21′15.620″S, 164°42′03.474″E (Point 2D);
(b) then east up the slope to the south‑eastern boundary corner at 74°21′14.567″S, 164°42′12.729″E (Point 2C);
(c) then north to the north‑eastern boundary corner at 74°21′12.865″S, 164°42′08.972″E (Point 2B);
(d) then back to Point 2A.
The third location (Northwest Slope) is on the north‑western slopes of the volcano approximately 1.5 km northwest of Cryptogam Ridge. Geothermal activity is evident as a northwest to southeast trending line of ice towers and small patches of bare ground along the edge of a steep cliff. The boundaries for the location were not surveyed in the field but obtained via inference from satellite imagery.
The boundary is as follows:
(a) starting at the north‑western boundary corner at 74°21′00″S, 164°39′02″E (Point 3A), it extends south downslope to the south‑western boundary corner at 74°21′11″S, 164°39′02″E (Point 3D);
(b) then east to the south‑eastern boundary corner at 74°21′11″S, 164°42′05″E (Point 3C);
(c) then north upslope to the north‑eastern boundary corner at 74°21′00″S, 164°40′05″E (Point 3B);
(d) then back to Point 3A.
Mount Rittmann
Mount Rittmann is located in the Mountaineer Range on the southern side of the Aviator Glacier, between the Pilot Glacier and the head of the Icebreaker Glacier in northern Victoria Land. It rises to 2 600 m above sea level, is approximately 103 km north of Mount Melbourne and approximately 50 km inland from the coast.
The site comprises the entire exposed caldera of Mount Rittmann.
The boundary is as follows:
(a) starting at the most westerly boundary corner at the western edge of the caldera rim at 73°28′18.797″S, 165°36′43.851″E (Point A), it follows the caldera rim east to the following unmarked points:
(i) 73°28′16.818″S, 165°36′54.698″E (Point B);
(ii) 73°28′16.290″S, 165°37′00.144″E (Point C);

2 Description
Deception Island, South Shetland Islands, is located in the Bransfield Strait at the southern end of the South Shetland Islands, off the north‑western coast of the Antarctic Peninsula (Figures 1 and 2). The boundary of the Area comprises the outer coastline of the island above the low tide water level. It includes the waters and seabed of Port Foster to the north of a line drawn across Neptunes Bellows between Entrance Point and Cathedral Crags. No boundary markers are required for the Area, as the coast is clearly defined and visually obvious.
