Unlike the Arctic,
which is a great expanse of water surrounded by
land, Antarctica is a great expanse of land
surrounded by water. Many people call the parts
of the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans that
circle Antarctica the Southern Ocean.
Forty-three nations have signed the Antarctic
Treaty, a 35-year-old agreement to protect the
fragile environment of the southernmost
continent. Despite its remoteness, threats to
Antarctica do exist and include overfishing,
mineral harvesting, and increasing tourism.
