Excerpt from The Seventh Continent: A History of the Discovery and Explorations of Antarctica Vikings and the Britons have. Unfurled their sails on the high seas 'and proudly raised their standards in the most remote corners of the earth. Amundsen returning triumphant from the field of battle has' received the plaudits due the conqueror, while Scott, the heroic Britisher, who likewise stormed the Barrier, scaled the icy ramparts and reached the goal, lies with his companions Where the fight was won, wrapt in the death mantle of the eternal snows. Thus have culminated the great ambitions of two lives. Looking back in vista of the years, there have been others who have struggled no less valiantly or died with the same heroic courage and the Southern Cross has had its votaries, whose love of romance and adventure have led them into untold perils. The extraordinary impetus to Arctic and Antarctic exploration during the last ten years has resulted in the discovery within a very brief period of one another.

First Published in 2011. Part of the resources for the future library collection on Global Environment and Development, this is the final Volume of seven. This book presents a broad-ranging study of Antarctica's history, politics, and development prospects with a command of issues in geography, science policy, technology, and international law, which is addressed with authority and flair. At this time, nations of the world are struggling to fashion a legal framework to govern Antarctic resources, which some regard as the common heritage of mankind. This debate, described vividly here, represents an ongoing application of the common-property resource concept, which has played a prominent role in RFF's research and analytical contributions during the past quarter-century. Furthermore, the continent's energy and minerals endowment-if exploitable at all (and in the author's judgment the prospects for this are dim)-constitute at best resources for the future.

The thawing Antarctic continent offers living space and marine and mineral resources that were previously inaccessible. This book discusses how revisiting the Antarctic Treaty System and dividing up the continent preemptively could spare the world serious conflict. The Antarctic Treaty and related agreements—collectively known as the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS)—regulate the seventh continent, which is the only continent without a native human population. The main treaty within the ATS came into force in 1961 and suspended all territorial claims in Antarctica. The Antarctic Environmental Protocol followed in 1998 and prohibited any minerals exploitation in the continent. With this prohibition up for review in 2048, this book asks whether the Antarctic Treaty can continue to protect Antarctica. Doaa Abdel-Motaal—an expert on environmental issues who has traveled through the Arctic and Antarctic—explains that the international community must urgently turn its attention to examining how to divide up the thawing continent in a peaceful manner. She discusses why the Antarctic Treaty is unlikely to be an adequate measure in the face of international competition for invaluable resources in the 21st century. She argues that factors such as global warming, the growth in climate refugees that the world is about to witness, and the increasingly critical quest for energy resources will make the Antarctic continent a highly sought-after objective. Readers will come to appreciate that what has likely protected Antarctica so far was not the Antarctic Treaty but the continent's harsh climate and isolation. With Antarctica potentially becoming habitable only a few decades from now, revisiting the Antarctic Treaty in favor of an orderly division of the continent is likely to be the best plan for avoiding costly conflict.

The journey to the seventh continent began in 2002 when Pat Chapman and Martha Ellis visited Kenya. During their encounters with the people and the beauty of Africa, they made the decision to visit all seven continents and capture the pictorial singularity of each. In February of 2014, they set foot on Antarctica, the seventh continent. Although their primary goal has been realized, they have not put their luggage in the attic. As long as there are new horizons, there is a plane to catch.
