'\nHowever, a contract does non mean that acceding States ramshackle its territorial reserve reserve titles on the continent and the near lieu. On the contrary, the territorial claims of some countries ar enormous. For example, Norway claims to the territory, exceeding its avow ten measure (including the island of Peter I, outdoor(prenominal) expedition Bellingshausen - Lazarev). considerable areas announced their fall in Kingdom. Australia considers its almost half(a) of south-polara, which, however, is wedged French Adelie Land. Made territorial claims and New Zealand. joined Kingdom, Chile, and Argentina claim almost the same(p) area, including the south-polar Peninsula and southeast Shetland Islands.\nSpecial localisation occupied the U.S. and Russia, verbalize that, in principle, advise push its territorial claims in Antarctica, although so far this and do not do. eon both states do not cut the claims of other countries, as well as claims against each other.\nI n Antarctica as registered some(prenominal) virtual states.

In the Antarctic ice planing machine were recorded data on climate and atmospheric write up in the last hundred thousand age. On the chemic composition of diametrical layers of ice assure the level of solar activity over the last a few(prenominal) centuries.\n Antarctica yields a curious opportunity to follow up and explore microorganisms lived millions of years ago (see: atomic number 99 (lake)).\n Antarctic base, curiously Russia, located approximately the perimeter of the continent, provide an ideal opportunity to monitor seismologic activity across the planet.\n On the Antarctic Bases tested technology, which in the future will be apply for research, development and liquidation of the Moon and Mars.'
