Regulation 2(b)
Yukidori Valley, Langhovde, Lützow-Holm Bay
Lat: 69°14′S; Long: 39°46′E
The Yukidori Valley (69°14′30″S, 39°46′00″E) is situated in the middle part of Langhovde, on the east coast of Lützow-Holm Bay, Continental Antarctica. The Area encompasses 2.0–2.5 kilometres by 1.8 kilometres, located between a tongue of the ice cap and sea at the western end of the Valley. The fellfield ecosystem and long-term monitoring sites are contained entirely within Yukidori Valley, and the Area boundary is designed to afford protection to the entire valley/catchment system. The Area does not include any marine area.
The location and boundaries of the Area are shown on Maps 1, 2 and 3 of the Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 141 Management Plan, published at pages 58 to 60 of the Command Paper “The Antarctic Treaty: Measures adopted at the Forty-second Consultative Meeting held at Prague, Czech Republic, 1 – 11 July 2019”(3).

Wreck of the vessel Endurance, including all artefacts contained within or formerly contained within the ship, which may be lying on the seabed in or near the wreck within a 150m radius. This includes all fixtures and fittings associated with the ship, including ship’s wheel, bell, etc. The designation also includes all items of personal possessions left on the ship by the ship’s company at the time of its sinking. | The exact location of the wreck is unknown as the ship floated in the pack ice for some distance. |

Carl Anton Larsen during the first land-exploration of the area around the current location of the Argentina’s Marambio Station, where the first Antarctic fossil discoveries were made. The cairn used to have an attached wooden pole (2m high and 5cm diameter) of which nothing remains. | 64°14′13.06″S, 56°35′7.50″W |
