Maori monument unveiled in snow-stricken Antarctica (VIDEO, PHOTOS RT)
---
Despite being over 2,000 miles from New Zealand’s capital Wellington,
the country has decided to unveil a bizarrely placed Maori statue in
the depths of Antarctica, celebrating with a present of whisky from a
100-year-old frozen hoard. Prime Minister John Key and Ngai Tahu tribal leader Sir Mark Solomon both unveiled the Maori artifact as part of celebrations in New Zealand surrounding the 56th anniversary of Antarctic research facility Scott Base.

Who has the right to Antarctic?
Next century may see replotting in the Antarctic. As soon as scientists find ways of extracting oil and gas from under layers of ice 1 kilometre thick, at least 30 countries will make claims on the sixth continent. At present scientists continue working on the southernmost continent where they mainly study the resource base.
Huge resources of oil and gas are hidden under the ice cover of the Antarctic. It is a proved fact but at present the development of these fields is too difficult and unprofitable. In addition, many countries are held back by the status of a continent. According to the treaty on the Antarctic, no one has the right either to draw state borders there or develop mineral deposits.

China begins journey to South Pole
---
A Chinese research group has arrived at the Antarctic to start the
29th scientific expedition, with the goal of establishing China’s fourth
base in the region. Thinking about the South Pole, images of furry little animals, big chunks of iceberg and imposing auroras may spring to mind.
The reality on the ground, however, is quite different.
