No nation owns Antarctica, and you don't need a passport to enter it. The Antarctic Treaty is a unique international agreement that guides policy and practice on this huge continent. It was written in 1959 and formally established in 1961. Twelve countries signed the original document, and now there are 45 countries around the world that follow its laws. It is an ongoing model of international cooperation. |
