I have some questions about the Antarctic (that’s the white area at the bottom of the globe [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) I was reading that Australia claims 42% of the area which until recently I guess no one really cared about, but while in discussion about future oil reserves and the prospect of the USA drilling in Alaska I started to wonder if Australia had the rights to drill for oil in the Antarctic?
Does anybody out there in Ironworks land know about this subject? Or could anyone point me in the right direction. What info I can find, mainly the Antarctic Treaty 1957-58, seems very vague on the mineral rights to the Antarctic. [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]
