Abstract
Australia, as claimant to sovereignty of 42% of Antarctica and a signatory to the Antarctic Treaty, has a responsibility and a vested interest in preserving the integrity of this unique area. Further as the operator of Antarctic bases it is probable that the Australian Government will be called upon to provide assistance to tours and expeditions which may get into difficulties. The author draws attention to areas of concern and examines various legal requirements including licensing and insurance cover as possible solutions. This article was originally presented as a paper to the ‘Antarctic Challenge’ Symposium, Institute of International Law, University of Kiel, September 1985.Keywords
