Actually, no-one owns Antarctica, and it is the only continent without any human population that is native to the region. But for decades, there have been explorers and scientists who have successfully reached the area and provided information about it. Since June 1961, the "Antarctic Treaty" has reinforced the practice of using the continent only for peaceful purposes, such as for scientific study. As a result, there have been scientists and explorers from a number of countries (including the United States) who have sent teams to study the region.
