Frozen asset

The delicate and awe-inspiring environment of Antarctica is threatened by unrestricted tourism, oil and mineral exploration, and the competing territorial claims of several nations. The program explores several of the most pressing issues, including whaling, the inadequacies of the Antarctic Treaty, and the intended legitimisation of mining by the minerals convention.
