This Order makes it an offence to enter, without a permit, into a specially protected area designated under section 7(2) of the Antarctic Treaty Act 1967 (being an area of outstanding scientific interest for purposes of the Agreed Measures for the Conservation of Antarctic Fauna and Flora). It also makes provision with respect to permits authorising entry into such areas.
