Approaches to Antarctic solid waste management logistics : past, present, potential ...
Past and present solid waste management practices in Antarctica, and the local impacts of waste, are described. The provisions of Annex III of the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty (the Madrid Protocol) are reviewed, in particular the requirement to remove waste from Antar...
