2  Description
  The McMurdo Dry Valleys are located in southern Victoria Land along the western coast of McMurdo Sound, southern Ross Sea, at approximately 77°30′S, 162°00′E. An area of approximately 17,500 km2 is designated as an Antarctic Specially Managed Area (hereafter referred to as the "Area") to manage human activities in the region for the protection of scientific, environmental, ecological, historic, aesthetic and wilderness values.
  From the northeastern extremity of Tripp Island (76°38.09′S, 162°42.90′E) the boundary extends southward following the coastline at the mean low tide level to DeMaster Point (situated east of Marshall Valley at 78°04.20′S, 164°25.43′E), a distance of approximately 170 km. The boundary thence follows the northwestern margin of the Koettlitz Glacier in a southwesterly direction for approximately 25 km to Walcott Bay and Trough Lake, including within the Area all of the streams and lakes along the glacier margin. The boundary thence follows the approximate southern grounding line of the Koettlitz Glacier margin in Walcott Bay, extending east towards The Bulwark and encompassing all of Trough Lake. The boundary thence continues east following Bulwark Stream for approximately 1.5 km to the northern extremity of The Bulwark. The boundary thence extends 3 km in a straight line northeast to the northwestern coastline of Heald Island, following around the northern coastline to the eastern extremity of the island at 78°15.00′S, 163°57.80′E.
  The boundary extends from Heald Island approximately 14.8 km southwest to the summit of The Pyramid (854 m) (78°20.64′S, 163°29.95′E). The boundary thence continues southwest approximately 13.3 km to the foot of Highway Ridge (78°23.97′S, 162°58.57′E), from where it follows up the ridgeline in a northwesterly direction approximately 3.8 km to the summit of Shark Fin (2242 m) (78°22.11′S, 162°54.66′E). The boundary extends from Shark Fin northwest approximately 6.7 km to the summit of Mount Kempe (3004 m) (78°19.35′S, 162°43.18′E). The boundary continues northwest in a straight line from the summit of Mount Kempe approximately 83 km to the summit of Mount Wisneski (2320 m) (77°57.65′S, 159°33.73′E), which is the most southerly peak of the Lashley Mountains.
  From Mount Wisneski, the boundary extends northwards for approximately 8.7 km to Mount Crean (2550 m) (77°53.00′S, 159°30.66′E), the highest peak in the Lashley Mountains. The boundary continues 5.6 km northward to the summit of Mount Koger (2450 m) (77°50.05′S, 159°33.09′E), the most northerly peak in the Lashley Mountains.
  The boundary thence extends northeast approximately 15.3 km to Depot Nunatak (1980 m) (77°44.88′S, 160°03.19′E), and thence northwest approximately 19.6 km to the western extremity of the ice‑free ground at Horseshoe Mountain (77°34.52′S, 159°53.72′E). The boundary continues north approximately 40 km to the summit of Mount DeWitt (2190 m) (77°13.05′S, 159°50.30′E), thence extends northwest approximately 38.4 km to the summit of
