En los últimos veinte y cinco años el Ecuador ha realizado una serie de actividades que culminaron con su ingreso como Miembro Consultivo del Tratado Antártico, paralelamente, el país ha creado una estructura de carácter administrativo, logística operativa y científica que atiende responsablemente los asuntos Antárticos; pero como aquellas actividades se incrementarán y ampliarán en el futuro, es necesario que se fortalezca dicha estructura; la única forma de que el país mantenga su presencia en el Continente Austral. Ecuador has carried out different activities in the last twenty five years, ending with its admission as a Consultive Member of the Antarctic Treaty. Besides, the country has built an administrative, logistical, operational and scientific structure to deal with Antarctic matters. Those activities will increase and broaden in the future; it is neccessary to strenght such a structure, which will be the only way the country could keep its presence on the Southern Continent.
