2  Description
  Cape Royds is located at the western extremity of Ross Island, McMurdo Sound, on a coastal strip of ice‑free land approximately 8 km wide, on the lower western slopes of Mount Erebus. The Area comprises both a terrestrial and a marine component.
The terrestrial component of the Area consists of ice‑free land within approximately 350 m of Flagstaff Point (77°33′21″S, 166°09′55″E) that is seasonally occupied by a breeding Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) colony. The boundary captures all of the area occupied by breeding penguins and the main southern route used by the penguins to access the sea. The marine component comprises an area of sea within 500 m of the Cape Royds coastline, which includes the main penguin access route to the colony.
The boundary of the terrestrial component is as follows:
 (a) starting at a small embayment at the north‑western corner of the terrestrial component, it extends northeast for 53 m to a survey mark which is an iron tube embedded in the ground;
 (b) then east for 9 m to a signpost (77°33′11.2″S, 166°09′35.2″E);
 (c) then east‑northeast for 30 m to a signpost (77°33′10.9″S, 166°09′39.4″E) halfway down the slope of a small hill;
 (d) then southeast for 133 m to a signpost (77°33′11.8″S, 166°09′59.0″E) east of Pony Lake;
 (e) then south‑southeast for 42 m to a signpost (77°33′12.9″S, 166°10′01.9″E);
 (f) then 74 m to a signpost (77°33′15.2″S, 166°10′05.7″E) at the southern end of the penguin viewing area;
 (g) then 18 m to the coast at Arrival Bay (77°33′15.8″S, 166°10′06.6″E);
 (h) then along the coastline to Derrick Point.
The boundary from Pony Lake (signpost at 77°33′11.8″S, 166°09′59.0″E) to Derrick Point coincides with the southern boundary of ASPA No. 157 (Backdoor Bay).
The marine component of the Area comprises the area within 500 m of the mean high water coastline of Flagstaff Point. The boundary of the marine component is as follows:
 (a) starting at Derrick Point (77°33′14.1″S, 166°10′22″E), it extends southwest for 500 m;
 (b) then west, maintaining a distance of 500 m from the shore, to 77°33′11.8″S, 166°08′10″E;
 (c) then due east 500 m to the coast at the north‑western corner of the terrestrial component (77°33′11.8″S, 166°9′25″E).
