冰,冰和更多的冰(Ice, ice and more ice)

南极洲是地球上风力最大、最冷、最干燥和第五大大陆,直到1820年才被发现。在接下来的几十年里,各国组织探险队前往南极冰盖进行探索。由于最南端的大陆上没有土著人,各个国家都声称对该地区拥有主权。随着紧张局势的加剧,12个国家于1959年12月1日签署了《南极条约》,允许该地区进行科学研究并禁止军事活动。今天,我们正在庆祝该条约的周年纪念,56个国家现已加入该条约。

The windiest, coldest, driest and fifth largest continent on earth, Antarctica, was discovered only 1820. In the following decades, various countries organized expeditions to reach and explore the Antarctic ice sheets. Since there were no indigenous people on the southernmost continent, various nations claimed the area. As tensions increased, 12-states signed the Antarctic Treaty on 1.12.1959 to free the region for scientific research and ban military activities. Today we are celebrating the anniversary of this Treaty, to which 56 States now belong.
