Certain places in the ice-free valleys have been designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), in order to protect ongoing scientific research or to preserve them in pristine condition for possible future study. This action was taken by the seventh Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM VII) in 1972 and is contained in Recommendation VII-3 (Stonehouse 2002, p. 369). The SSSI sites in the ice-free valleys are Barwick Valley (Fig. 3.6), the area between the Canada Glacier and Lake Fryxell (Taylor Valley), and the Linnaeus Terrace...
