Antarctic explorers
In several countries and continents, the stories of different places and periods of time, often remarkable that most of the lives of people living in different areas changed. Notable examples are the two world wars, the fall of communism and the industrial revolution, which changed both physical and political landscape in places where it occurred. However, in some places where there are no permanent human presenceInstitutions such as the Antarctic, the same principle applies. Thanks to the discovery, given the desire of people to explore these places has also allowed some dramatic events in the history of these places.
Important events in the history of Antarctica
One of the highlights of Antarctica is the story of the first expeditions to the continent during the period between the end of 1770 until the middle of 1840, as the time when Antarctica was discovered by the world, considered. Some ofThe most important expeditions of this period are those of the British Captain James Cook (1772), British sailor William Smith (1819), American explorer Nathaniel Palmer (1821), American scientist Dr. Otto James (1830), and British Captain James Ross took place (1841).
Another has been significant in the history of Antarctica during the late 1890 early 1900, which saw the exploration of the interior of Antarctica. This period also saw the participation of different countriesGreat Britain and the United States in the exploration of Antarctica, including Belgium, Norway, Australia, Japan and Germany. However, the participation of these countries have helped the competition between them, which often led to "turf wars" between these countries. To resolve this problem, the International Geophysical Year (AGI), founded in 1957 and has begun coordination between countries, companies for further exploration of the continent to promote.
As history shows, the International Geophysical Year pavedthe way for the peaceful coexistence of different researchers in the country, which led to the Antarctic Treaty. This Agreement sets out the guidelines for the exploration of Antarctica, provides for cooperation in scientific research and exchange of information between research groups from different countries. In addition, the contract prohibits military operations, nuclear explosions and disposal of radioactive waste in the region.
Several countries going through an extraordinary momentchange history and the lives of his people. In places like Antarctica, where there are many people, it is also true. This is because the history of Antarctica show that important events, including the signing of the Antarctic Treaty, the research teams who are regularly out on the frozen continent affected.
