FOR THE LASTING BENEFIT OF ALL HUMANITY –
“the Antarctic Treaty is indispensable to the world of
science which knows no national or other political
boundaries; but it is much more than that... it is a
document unique in history which may take its place
alongside the Magna Carta and other great symbols of
man's quest for enlightenment and order.”
