Antarctique : banquises et convoitises - Le dessous des cartes | ARTE

Chinese and Russian appetites, an influx of tourists... Antarctica is coveted. This unique territory at the end of the world doesn't belong to any particular country; several major powers co-manage it, with objectives that can only be scientific and peaceful under highly protective international law. But for how long? Antarctica is a continent of pristine ice floes, populated by penguins and seals, whose subsoil contains treasures, and which only scientists are theoretically allowed to set foot on. In the years to come, Antarctica must be preserved more than ever, and the international law that jealously protects this icy continent must be scrupulously respected. #Antarctica #AntarcticTourism #Penguins 📚"Goodbye Antarctica" by Paul-Emilie Victor and Jean-Christophe Victor, published by Fayard, Pluriel collection. http://bit.ly/AntarcticVictor "Boreal and Ice Floes" by Paul-Emilie Victor, published by Grasset http://bit.ly/BorealBanquises "Geopolitics of the Poles, Towards an Appropriation of Polar Spaces?" by Frédéric Lasserre, Anne Choquet, Camille Escudes-Joffres, published by Le Cavalier bleu 📽We recommend John Carpenter's cult film "The Thing."
