Show transcript
Due to its inaccessibility, the continent of Antarctica has only been visited and explored over the past 250 years. People first went to the Southern Ocean and Antarctica hunting for whales, then explorers raced to the South Pole. The Antarctic Treaty is there to protect the continent and states no one country can claim it as its own. There is no permanent population in Antarctica but scientists and tourists visit the continent.
