No. Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, and its scientific research results belong to the peoples on earth whose governments signed the treaty -- about 80% of the population of the planet.
The Antarctic Treaty is set to continue due to its longstanding support from member countries. The treaty's key principles for scientific research, environmental protection, and international cooperation are expected to remain in place. However, ongoing discussions and negotiations may lead to potential updates or adjustments to the treaty in the future.
Scientific research is the only activity conducted on the Antarctic continent. All research is shared with all nations that are signatory to The Antarctic Treaty, representing about 80% of the earth's population. You could say that Antarctica exports scientific details about the health of planet earth, first and second.
There is no commercial whaling in Antarctica: some countries hunt whales in Antarctica under the terms of The Antarctic Treaty, and purport that the animals are for scientific research.
There are no countries in Antarctica. Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty System, which is a collective agreement signed by 54 countries to regulate activities and preserve the continent for scientific research and environmental conservation.
Under the terms of the Antarctic Treaty, all scientific research results are shared among all the nations that signed or ratified the treaty. As well, there is friendly -- and paid -- logistical cooperation among nations in support of the scientific work.
Basically it was an agreement between 50 nations allowing them to use the continent Antarctica for scientific research purposes. No military was allowed to go on this continent.
