Antarctic Territories Explained: Geopolitics in Antarctica

pewds own it

El país que está más cerca de la Antártida es Chile.

Estas son las distancias a la parte continental de la Antártida: Chile: 934 km. (desde la Patagonia chilena – Islas del Cabo de Hornos) Reino Unido: 1.509 km

The common interest in Nations claiming parts of Antarctica is just wanting their slice of the pie. . .🥧

No country should have the right to claim land in Antarctica instead should go claim land on the moon on mars or Venus or somewhere else in space not on Antarctica or anywhere else in on Earth because it already living creatures

All claims are inherently ridiculous. No nation has claim to these lands and none should. Similar to international waters these should remain international lands which should be preserved as much as possible in its natural state

i would ove to build the biggest prison there in the world

Investing with expert Nora has been the best step I have ever took in my life, may God bless that day I meet her

What make them can claim that land ?

Antarctic territorial claims should be settled at the Antarctic Football Championship: the winner takes it all

As an Englishman whose gas bill is going through the roof I'd like to see the British portion of this landmass used for fracking. Any penguins inconvenienced by this can be rehoused in our wonderful zoos🤔

What about china then?

I hereby claim all unclaimed planets, stars, and asteroids including but not limited to land, water, gases and other natural resources in the known and unknown galaxy as of March 30, 2022 at 8:43pm EST.

Thank you.

Divide it into four and you got the four corners of Earth.

This is the continent of Atlantis that the great scientist Plato talked about

Where u from? I love the reason=raisin haha

human is the most greedy creature ...Thanx no1 claim to own the o2

Global balance of power is completely changed most of the Claimemts can't even defend their mainland from powers like 🇨🇳 and 🇮🇳 ,let alone their imperialistic claims, if need arises.

Sharing is caring. The 12 nations of the Antarctica treaty can share it.

They just went around the earth and claim whatever they see as their own?

I think it should be part of Australia, Chile, Argentina and new zeland, which are the southern countries.

It's Australia, 🇦🇺 part

China experienced a direct wind straight from Antarctica some time during the Ming Dynasty. So naturally CCP China owns all of it.

Haha leftists even call it imperalism when a not claimed land would be claimed by someone.

While nations have made claims, the U.S has the largest presence on the continent and upholds the treaty within the area of their stations as does all the stations I know of. The treaty should be maintained so that all the high end science can continue to enhance our understanding of our planet and the universe without political interference.

none

Canada is in there

America and Russia better stay away from the unclaimed land I just claimed. I was there first.

The world has already been divided for the next 100 years, neither the US nor Europe have logical reasons to make territorial claims in Antarctica, it would rather be a shameless display of neocolonialism and it would be better for them than South America and Australia (a neutral actor and a ally) take control of these lands to ensure that the resources do not fall to India, China or Russia, the new axis that wants to control the world.
The Arctic is overrated, those who control Artantida will rule the next century, and the West must unite to secure it.

lol that UK claim man…😂

Lies all lies all these fake azz Defacto nations they people will end all these fake azz governments and lies like there is nothing there wrong it’s much larger than they lie about not only that it’s not just ice and water to hide and keep from the people is criminal in & of itself shame on there lieing azz devils. All shall be purged a shift is here! Save The Children JD36739

🙋‍♀️ Question 🙋‍♀️
Does penguin meat taste good⁉️

Let us hope that the Prague Agreement reached in 1989 will be extended beyond 2039 and that Antarctica is officially " declared " a sanctuary and thus remain the only untouched continent on Gaia!

As an Argentine, I think Antarctica should stay as it is, with no country messing with it.

Our friends of the north kick out The Chile explorers who found an inner ancient city overthere now nobody can reach that area it is forbiden

Btw, the emblem of the Antartic Treaty is different from the proposed flag you showed(🇦🇶), even if it's pretty similar (and I feel like the flag was copied from the emblem)

I guess it's lucky for Antarctica that it's so far away from everywhere else and so damn cold. Can you imagine how much it could have been ruined if it had natural resources that were easy to get to and procure?😬 Australia and New Zealand would sure have trouble trying to hold onto their "bits"!
(By "bits", I mean bits of land, of course 🤦🏻‍♀️)

US aint getting shit.

Just a continuation of white people trying to control everything. Nothing new.

in the Antarctic treaty signed in the 1950s by The USA, The Soviet Union, France , UK , Japan , Australia, Norway the continent of Antarctica was divided among the 5 countries . Australia has the lion share of the treaty with 40% of Antarctica territory (6 mln km2) . It is stated in the agreement that no one can dispute the claim and can have new claims in Antarctica after the treaty. Australia with Antractic territory is 13.5 second largest country in the world surpassing Canada (9.9 mln km2) and The USA (9.8 mln km2).

I suppose the Antarctic treaty should have its strictly peaceful and scientific Pursuits preserved, but also call for the wholesale renunciation of any territorial claims to Antarctica whatsoever and to allow the General Public to go to Antarctica provided the also partake in strictly peaceful & scientific endeavors, which specifically includes disproving Flat Earth theory once and for all.

Ok

First dscovered by the Russian expedition comprising two ships in Jan 1820.

Bullshit. It's the ring around the disc we live on, f off with your globe shit

Explorers and Exploration means Gold diggers. Thats why Isreal is not at the table. They left the true MERCHANTS out
