Part 30 Antarctic specially protected area No. 130
Tramway Ridge, Mount Erebus, Ross Island.
Latitude 77 31 05 S, longitude 167 06 35 E.
The boundary of the designated Area is defined as a square of 200 m by 200.8 m which encompasses most of the warm ground area of lower Tramway Ridge (77° 31 05 S, 167° 06 35 E). The Area is divided into two parts of almost equal size, the northern half being a Prohibited Zone. The boundaries of the Area and the Prohibited Zone (marked by signposts at each corner) and prominent features are shown on the map. Several boundary signposts have been offset owing to dangerous ground at the actual corner point.
