ANTARCTICA FACTS

  • The Antarctic Treaty was signed in 1959, which puts all territorial claims on hold ? so no-one actually owns Antarctica. It has been set aside as a scientific preserve, and military activity is prohibited in the region.
  • The Antarctic is 48 times the size of the UK (14.4 million sq km). It is the world's only uninhabited continent.
