>French claim
i didn't know it was this pathetic
at least it's like territorial banter

Those claims are entirely meaningless though, as international treaties forbid annexation of Antarctica by anyone. The very act of having a claim is just pathetic dickwaving.

>UK and Argentina claiming the same area
Oh boy

>>77355816
those claim were made before the treaty that froze them.
Nobody deny or recognize them. It's just sitting there.

Meanwhile, we have bases on our claim, administrate them, and we recognize australian claim in exchange for them recognizing ours.

If Antarctica melts and you are somehow still alive, the process involved will likely kill you and everyone else living along the coast (read: pretty much everyone).

That doesn't really mean anything, though. No one is going to try and stop a country from "annexing" Antarctica because whoever tries will die from the weather in the process. They can barely get specially designed boats and planes to reach the mainland, let along set up anything aside small research centres. Most of the land is basically impenetrable.

A couple of tiny research stations which shelter an armful of people on a semi permanent basis. Wow. Everyone in the world could recognise our bases but at the end of the day the continent doesn't and it is incredibly expensive and dangerous to conduct research there, making it essentially off limits to everyone but a small group of scientists. Even then, most of their own claimed zones are entirely inaccessible.

The entire setup is one big meme because at the end of the day even those who conduct research there are hardly representative of their nations. It may as well be international waters for all practical implications. Most of the transportation is private enterprises to begin with.

Realitstically speaking? what would happen if another country just sailed in and said "fuck You,this is my claim now"? would anyone start a war over Antarctica?

Not true

>>77357189
Why would the US government want anything to do with Antarctica?
