The '''Valdes Peninsula''' (Spanish: ''Península Valdés'') is a [[peninsula]] into the [[Atlantic Ocean]] in the [[Biedma Department]] of north-east [[Chubut Province]], [[Argentina]]. Around {{convert|3625|km2|acre sqmi|abbr=on}} in size (not taking into account the isthmus of Carlos Ameghino which connects the peninsula to the mainland), it is an important [[nature reserve]] which was listed as a [[World Heritage Site]] by [[UNESCO]] in 1999.

===Environment===
Most of the peninsula is barren land with some [[salt lake (geography)|salt lake]]s. The largest of these lakes is at an elevation of about 40 m below sea level (see [[extremes on Earth]]), until recently thought to be the lowest elevation in [[Argentina]] and [[South America]] (the lowest point actually being [[Laguna del Carbón]], Argentina).

===Wildlife===
The coastline is inhabited by marine [[mammals]], like [[South American sea lion|sea lions]], [[elephant seal]]s and [[South American fur seal|fur seals]]. [[Southern right whale]]s can be found in Golfo Nuevo and Golfo San José, protected bodies of water located between the peninsula and the [[Patagonia]]n mainland. These [[baleen whale]]s come here between May and December, for mating and giving birth, because the water in the [[Headlands and bays|gulf]] is quieter and warmer than in the open sea. [[Orca]]s can be found off the coast, in the open sea off the peninsula. In this area, they are known to beach themselves on shore to capture sea lions and elephant seals.

The Valdes Peninsula (Spanish: Península Valdés) is a peninsula into the Atlantic Ocean in the Viedma Department of north-east Chubut Province, Argentina. It is an important nature reserve which was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999.[2]

Geography

[edit]

The peninsula is about 3,625 km2 (1,400 sq mi) in size (not taking into account the isthmus of Carlos Ameghino which connects the peninsula to the mainland). The nearest large town is Puerto Madryn. The only town on the peninsula is the small settlement of Puerto Pirámides. There are also a number of estancias, where sheep are raised.

Environment

[edit]

Most of the peninsula is barren land with some salt lakes. The largest of these lakes has an elevation of about 40 m below sea level (see extremes on Earth), until recently thought to be the lowest elevation in Argentina and South America (the lowest point actually being Laguna del Carbón, Argentina, which is also the lowest point in all of South America).

Wildlife

[edit]

The coastline is inhabited by marine mammals, such as sea lions, elephant seals and fur seals. The adjacent waters contain the most important breeding ground for southern right whales in the world.[2] They can be found in Golfo Nuevo and Golfo San José, protected bodies of water located between the peninsula and the Patagonian mainland. These baleen whales arrive between May and December, for mating and giving birth, because the water in the gulf is quieter and warmer than in the open sea. Orcas can also be found off the coast, in the open sea off the peninsula. They are known to beach themselves on shore to capture sea lions and elephant seals.

The inner part of the peninsula is inhabited by rheas, guanacos and maras. A diverse range of birds lives in the peninsula as well, with at least 181 species recorded, including the Cape petrel. The peninsula, along with neighbouring Punta León and Punta Loma, has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of Magellanic penguins (with about 150,000 breeding pairs), rock and imperial shags, kelp gulls, and South American, Sandwich and royal terns.[3]

Climate

[edit]

Valdes Peninsula has a cold desert climate (BWk) bordering on a cold semi-desert climate (BSk).[4] It has a climate typical of northern Patagonia that is modified with interactions between atmospheric circulation patterns and the adjacent ocean.[5][6] The peninsula is located between the subtropical high-pressure belt (located at 30oS) and the subpolar low-pressure zone (located between 60o and 70oS), resulting in the wind being predominantly from the west.[4][6] The mean annual temperature is 10.6 °C (51.1 °F),[4] ranging from a mean monthly temperature of 8 °C (46.4 °F) in winter to 18 °C (64.4 °F) in summer.[6] During winter, temperatures fluctuate between 0 and 15 °C (32.0 and 59.0 °F) with frosts being common, averaging 12–20 days during the season.[4] Temperatures in the summer can fluctuate between 15 and 35 °C (59.0 and 95.0 °F).[4]

Mean annual precipitation is low, averaging 240 mm (9.4 in) although this is highly variable from year to year.[4] The interior of the peninsula receives slightly lower precipitation than the coastal areas, receiving 200 to 225 mm (7.9 to 8.9 in) per year.[5] Precipitation is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year though April–June receives the most precipitation.[6][5] The El Niño Southern Oscillation strongly influences the climate of the peninsula.[6] During an El Niño year, precipitation is higher from November to February.[6]
