The Antarctic (under the international Antarctic Treaty System).
The two major countries with territorial claims in the Antarctic Circle are Argentina and Chile. Both nations have established overlapping claims on portions of the continent, with Argentina claiming the Argentine Antarctic Territory and Chile claiming the Chilean Antarctic Territory. These claims are part of a broader international framework regulated by the Antarctic Treaty System, which emphasizes scientific cooperation and prohibits military activity on the continent. However, the treaty does not resolve the sovereignty disputes, allowing these countries to maintain their interests in the region.
All treaties are international because they are formal agreements between two or more sovereign nations. Eighty percent of the earth's population lives under governments that ratified the Antarctic Treaty .
No, Tom Crean was not the first Irishman to go to the Antarctic. The first Irishman to reach the Antarctic was Edward Bransfield, who led an expedition in 1820. Tom Crean was a notable explorer who participated in several expeditions to Antarctica in the early 20th century.
