The governance of the Antarctic Treaty gives individuals a huge power of personal responsibility and accountability as they move around in Antarctica.
Since there are no municipalities, workers follow the guidelines of their federal governments.
For example, since there is no federal speed limit, an American worker on an American scientific station must drive in a safe and conscientious manner, because the worker is personally responsible for the safety of the vehicle and of pedestrians walking along the marked ice roadway.
All work in the Antarctic focuses on science, and under the Antarctic Treaty, all scientific research and results are shared among all the countries that are signatories to the treaty.
Since all scientific bases are open to inspection by any government, by definition of the treaty, the work of science opens doors and eliminates political barriers among people from all over the world interested in studying the health of the planet earth.
