Historic sites and monuments in Antarctica

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Historic site or monument ( English Historic Site or Monument , HSM) is a protected site of historical interest in the continent Antarctica or on one of the islands. The list of historic sites was first drawn up in 1972 and has since expanded to 85 sites. The newest properties have been listed since 2013. Five sites have been removed from the list for various reasons.

criteria

Historic sites and monuments are protected as one of three classes of Antarctic Protected Areas under the Antarctic Treaty . Items must meet one or more of the following criteria to be included in the list:

  1. A special, historical event took place at this location.
  2. The place is related to an important figure in Antarctic history.
  3. The place is related to a major feat of "perseverance or success".
  4. It stands for a larger activity "important for the development and knowledge of the Antarctic".
  5. The building itself is of technical, historical, cultural or architectural importance.
  6. The place has educational potential through "significant human activity" in Antarctica.
  7. It has symbolic value to the people of many nations.

The signatory states of the Antarctic Treaty are entitled to make proposals. The annual Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM), together with the Committee for Environmental Protection (CEP), which meets at the same time, makes a decision about inclusion in the list of historical sites and monuments.

The Kharkovchanka heavy tractor was specially developed and manufactured in the “Malyshev” transport machine factory in Kharkov for the implementation of intercontinental sleigh trains in the Antarctic. It was the first Soviet mechanical engineering transport vehicle that was not produced in series and was produced exclusively for use in the Antarctic. The tracked vehicle was not used outside of Antarctica. This makes the Kharkovchanka a unique historical example of an engineering development for the exploration of the Antarctic.

Wreck of the Endurance, Ernest Shackleton's ship on the Transarctic Expedition 1914/15, including all items contained in the ship or previously contained that are within 150 m of the seabed or in the vicinity of the wreck. This includes all furnishings related to the ship, including the ship's wheel, bells, etc. This also includes all personal effects that the ship expedition left on the ship at the time of its sinking. The exact location of the wreck is unknown as the ship floated in the pack ice for some time. Location records from Frank Worsley, Shackleton's skipper and captain navigator, give precise coordinates of the ship's sinking location, but these have not been verified since 1915. We know the wreck is somewhere on the ocean floor in the Weddell Sea.
