Antarctica Day Inaugural Lecture

Summary

ANTARCTICA DAY is conceived as an enduring legacy to celebrate the 1st December 1959 signature of the Antarctic Treaty, which was adopted "with the interests of science and the progress of all mankind." Professors Berkman and Walton, co-chairs of the Antarctic Treaty Summit (www.atsummit50.aq), will highlight lessons from the first fifty years of the Antarctic Treaty that have enabled humanity to manage nearly 10% of the Earth for "peaceful purposes only," establishing precedents for our children to share as they build a world with hope and inspiration for future generations.
