The Area consists of the whole of the northernmost rock exposure on the
east side of Taylor Glacier, MacRobertson Land (Lat. 67 degrees 26'S;
Longitude 60 degrees 50'E). The rookery is located on a low lying rock
outcrop in the south-west corner of a bay formed by Taylor Glacier to the
west, the polar ice cap to the south and the islands of Colbeck
Archipelago to the east. The Area is surrounded by sea ice to the north
and east. The Area is some 90 km west of Mawson station. There is ice-
free terrain adjacent to the glacier on the western boundary and to the
south the rock rises steeply to meet the ice of the plateau.

There are no boundary markers since the Area is easily defined by its
natural features.

The Rookery Islands are a group of small islands and rocks in the south-
western part of Holme Bay, MacRobertson Land, approximately 10 km to
the west of Mawson station. The Area comprises the islands and rocks
lying within the rectangular area shown on the maps below, the general
location of which is latitude 67 degrees 37'S, longitude 62 degrees 33'E.
There are no boundary markers delimiting the site.

There are approximately 75 small islands. They range in size from small
rocks which barely remain above water at high tide to the largest islands
of the group which are Giganteus Islands (approximately 400 m
Longitude, 400 m wide and 30 m wide and 30 m high) and Rookery
Island which is of similar size but slightly more elongated. Rookery
Island is the highest of the group reaching an altitude of 62 m.

Lat. 62 degrees 27'S; Longitude 60 degrees 47'W

Cape Shirreff is a low, ice-free peninsula towards the western end of the
north coast of Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands, situated at Lat.
62 degrees 27'S, Longitude 60 degrees 47'W, between Barclay Bay and
Hero Bay. San Telmo Island is the largest of a small group of ice-free
rock islets, approximately 2 km west of Cape Shirreff. Cape Shirreff is
approximately 3 km from north to south and 0.5 to 1.2 km from east to
west.

No man-made markers indicate the limits of the Protected Place, the
boundaries being defined by natural features (i.e. coastlines or glacial
margins). Its southern boundary is bordered by a permanent glacial ice
barrier, which is located at the narrowest part of the Cape. The eastern
side of the base of the Cape has two beaches with a total length of about
600 m. Above this the extremity of the Cape has a rocky barrier about
150 m Longitude. The western side is formed by almost continuous cliffs
10 to 15 m high. Near the southern base of the Cape on the western side
is a small sandy beach approximately 50 m Longitude.
