Antarctic science and its likely directions
The Madrid Protocol ·to the Antarctic Treaty, for which Australia was one of the prime movers, has designated Antarctica as a 'natural reserve devoted to peace and science'. These are interesting words. No one could have any quibble about the word 'peace: but why 'science'?...
