2  Description
  The Cape Hallett Area is at the northern end of the Hallett Peninsula, northern Victoria Land, and has an approximate area of 0.53 km2. Cape Hallett is located at the southern end of Moubray Bay, in the western Ross Sea. The Area occupies most of the ice‑free ground of a cuspate spit of low elevation known as Seabee Hook and includes the adjacent western slopes of the northern end of Hallett Peninsula, east of Willett Cove to the margin of the permanent glaciers.
  The northern boundary of the Area extends along the northern coast of Seabee Hook from 170° 14' 25.5 E, 72° 19 05.0 S to the eastern limit of the Adélie colony at 170° 14 19.3 E, 72° 19 04.9 S. The boundary then follows the edge of the nesting area of the Adélie colony, maintaining a distance of at least 5 m from the colony, extending to 170° 12 25.3 E, 72° 19 07.9 S.
  From 170° 12' 25.3 E, 72° 19 07.9 S, the boundary extends 33 m due west to the coast at 170° 12 21.8 E, 72° 19 07.9 S and then continues southward to follow the western and southern coastline of Seabee Hook to 170° 12 54.3 E, 72° 19 19.1 S, which is near the south‑eastern end of the spit. The boundary extends northward, following the edge of the nesting area, maintaining a distance of at least 5 m from the colony, in the south‑eastern part of Seabee Hook to 170° 12 58.7 E, 72° 19 15.3 S. The boundary of the Area continues northward to follow the low water shoreline along the eastern coast of Seabee Hook, and then follows the low water coastline around Willett Cove to the southern boundary at 170° 13 24.9 E, 72° 19 28.0 S.
  From 170° 13' 24.9 E, 72° 19 28.0 S, the boundary extends eastward to the Bornmann Glacier, following a seasonal stream which descends from the glacier. The eastern boundary of the Area then follows the glacier and permanent ice margin northward at elevations between about 120 m and 150 m above sea level, crossing the steep western slopes of Hallett Peninsula and following the upper outcrops of a series of rocky ridges dissecting the slope. The boundary then descends to join the northern coastline of Seabee Hook at the base of a rock buttress at 170° 14 25.5 E, 72° 19 05.0 S.
