The last great wilderness on earth
Antarctica
Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent, a vast ice-covered wilderness with no permanent population and no sovereign nations. Governed by the Antarctic Treaty System since 1959, it is reserved for peaceful scientific research. A small number of expedition cruises visit the Antarctic Peninsula each austral summer, strictly regulated to protect its fragile environment.
