No one owns Antarctica. The Antarctic Treaty preserves the earth south of 60 degrees South Latitude for science -- only.
Technically no-one owns any land in Antarctica. Various countries have staked claims in Antarctica but these have not been universally recognised and after the 1959 Antarctica treaty, which essentially prevented any future claims, Antarctica's status has been pretty much unchanged - lots of people claim to own chunks of it but everybody else says they don't. You could say the Australians because they claim the largest chunk of it...
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.
there anit an owner (learn how to spell) There is no true "owner". there is a mutual agreement between most of the nations in the world saying that they have claims on certain areas of Antarctica. reason that they did this is because it is thought that Antarctica is a goldmine for oil. no one is aloud to mine for oil till there is nothing left in the rest of the world.
Antarctic TreatyAnother AnswerNo single country has control over any part of Antarctica, or any part of planet earth south of 60 degrees South latitude: it is all governed by The Antarctic Treaty.Australia is one of the countries that is a signatory to the treaty, and only has control over its citizens who travel south of 60 degrees South latitude.
