The McMurdo Dry Valleys Antarctic Specially Managed Area (ASMA) encompasses the largest ice-free region in Antarctica.The 15,000km2 Area contains cold desert soils millions of years old, special geological features, and unusual communities of plants and microorganisms. Its landscape includes glaciers, mountain ranges, ice-covered lakes, ephemeral streams, arid patterned soils and permafrost, sand dunes, and watershed systems. It is a region where life exists at the very extreme of environmental limits. This website is provided by the Management Group for the Area to introduce visitors to this amazing environment and ways to minimise our impact on it. |
