An extensive clean up program was begun at McMurdo Station in 1988. Major rubbish dumps were removed and returned to the USA, dumping along the shoreline was prohibited, and sewage and grey water were required to be discharged at a submerged outfall. The results of a recent study by Miller et al. (1999), however, show that a significant level of contamination still exists in Winter Quarters Bay, and that it has the potential to impact on resident organisms such as the local fish species Trematomus bernacchii. Since hydrocarbon breakdown is slow in Antarctica due to the cold temperatures, the effects of earlier contamination episodes are likely to remain for a considerable period of time. Is this to be the legacy we leave future Antarctic visitors?
obligations with respect to waste disposal and management (abandoned sites/dumps must be cleaned; no PCBs, pesticides), and prohibits commercial mineral resource exploitation. Studies to date suggest that there are no large, economically viable deposits of minerals in Antarctica, but significant mineral resources may lie beneath the ice.
