Introduction to South Georgia

Book Description
South Georgia is a remote, sub-Antarctic island located around 1400km southeast of the Falkland Islands. The island is a British Overseas Territory and is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including seals, penguins, and albatrosses. Its history is closely linked to the whaling industry, and there are still remnants of the industry visible on the island, including old whaling stations and equipment. Today, South Georgia is a popular destination for tourists interested in wildlife and adventure, offering opportunities for hiking, camping, and kayaking. Despite its remote location, South Georgia has played a significant role in global history. The island was first discovered in 1675 by the English explorer Anthony de la Roché, and it became a popular stop for whalers in the early 19th century. During World War I, South Georgia was a critical link in the British supply chain, as it was used as a base for the Royal Navy's Southern Ocean fleet. Later, in 1982, the island played a role in the Falklands War, as British forces used it as a staging point for their invasion of the Falkland Islands. Overall, South Georgia is a unique and fascinating place with a rich cultural and ecological history.

Lichens of Antarctica and South Georgia
Author: D. O. ØvstedalPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521662413
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
Antarctica's severe climate and restricted area of ice-free habitats limit the biodiversity and biota of its terrestrial ecosystems. Throughout much of this wilderness, lichens are the predominant visible life form, yet relatively few descriptive accounts of Antarctic lichens have been published. Research on these enigmatic organisms is increasing rapidly and there is a growing need for a comprehensive guide to the identification of Antarctic lichen-forming fungi. This volume provides the first modern detailed compilation of their taxonomy, ecology, distribution and relevant published literature. As such, it represents a major contribution to global lichen taxonomy and biogeography. The systematic accounts provide sufficient descriptive information to allow specialists to identify taxa to species level, and are structured so that even non-specialists can use them to identify specimens to at least the generic level.
