Abstract
With the preparations for the 1957–1958 International Geophysical Year much in evidence, the long-standing dispute over the Antarctic shifts into a new phase. The preliminaries are nearly over. All of the nations seriously involved in the area are now in training for the exploratory and political (if not the legal) main events. In this study the lesser known Argentine and Chilean claims in the “American Quadrant” (0° to 90° West Longitude) will be given particular consideration, although the general legal propositions may be applied to the entire region. The purpose will be to set forth the major developments, the applicable law, and to suggest possible solutions, including those looked upon as more “political” than legal.
