Abstract

The Antarctic Treaty, signed at the height of the Cold War in 1959, stipulated that the southern continent could not be used for military purposes, but it encouraged scientific research. We're still a long way from worst-case scenarios, but, fairly or not, China's latest plan for the South Pole has raised new suspicions. China already has four research bases on Antarctica, but it is now accelerating construction work on a fifth, at a place called Inexpressible Island. [Extracted from the article]
