Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The area consists of land on the western shore of Admiralty Bay, King George Island, South Shetland Islands. Approximately 20% of the Area is ice-free. More generally glacial, nival and coastal marine processes heavily shape the terrain. The area contains diverse avian and mammalian fauna and is home to large colonies of Adélie Penguin and Gentoo Penguin.
