The Antarctic Treaty is set to continue due to its longstanding support from member countries. The treaty's key principles for scientific research, environmental protection, and international cooperation are expected to remain in place. However, ongoing discussions and negotiations may lead to potential updates or adjustments to the treaty in the future.
Antarctic is the southernmost continent on Earth and experiences extremely cold temperatures.
Yes, there are coal deposits in Antarctica, particularly in the Transantarctic Mountains. However, mining activities are prohibited under the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty due to environmental concerns.
Both are polar, but Antarctica is about 30 degrees F colder than the Arctic. Antarctica is a continent, there are only northern expanses of continents near the Arctic. There are native and indigenous peoples in the Arctic, and no humans in Antarctica. Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, which governs all land and ice south of 60 degrees S. Many governments argue over the use and governance of Arctic waters.
There are no advantages to mining in Antarctica. The Antarctic Treaty System prohibits mining in the region to preserve its unique and fragile environment. Mining activities could have severe negative impacts on the pristine ecosystem and wildlife in Antarctica.
The Antarctic Plate is primarily located beneath Antarctica. It also extends slightly beyond Antarctica's border into parts of the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, encompassing regions claimed by countries such as Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom.
It was open for signature between 1959 and 1961, when it went into effect.
The Antarctic Treaty is a TREATY not a living thing so it can not become extinct.
The Antarctic Treaty does not have an expiration date. It was signed in 1959 and is intended to remain in effect indefinitely.
All of planet earth benefits from the Antarctic Treaty, because science conducted there -- the study of the health of planet earth -- is shared with all countries that signed or ratified the Antarctic Treaty.
Based on the Antarctic Treaty, there will be no nuclear activity there, nor will there be any colonization.

The Antarctic Treaty has not been broken, it may have been violated, but it remains in full force and effect.
There is no mining on the Antarctic continent: it is prohibited by the Antarctic Treaty.
Tourism in Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty. The treaty governs all land and ice south of 60 degrees S, and its Marine Protocols protect the Southern Ocean that surrounds the continent. The Antarctic Treaty is an international agreement to govern -- in fact, a condominium form of government. There is no money paid by anyone to the 'Antarctic Treaty'.
The treaty is called the Antarctic Treaty. You can read it, below.
As of 2014, there are 50 states party to the treaty.
