How Antarctica became home to a new kind of scientific diplomacy The International Geophysical Year in 1957 paved the way for the Antarctic treaty, an accord born amid the cold war that continues to reserve an entire continent for peace and science

Interesting to see Chile being so overt about their Antartic interests (Chilean president makes historic visit to South Pole www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...)

I wrote about the scientific / geopolitical history of Antarctica here, which offers some longer context

Now I'm reimagining it without the bright flash, and enjoying a much warmer and cosier image of a candlelit tree in a warm, wooden hut - a comforting refuge against the Antarctic winter.

Having properly *looked* at it, it's gone from black and white to colour for me.
