- vidarh 5y agoNorway claims territory in Antarctica too, but these claims are only recognized by a handful of states who also claim land in Antarctica... The lack of recognition doesn't really preclude construction that can be justified as for scientific purposes, though. Convenience is more important.
- sgt 5y agoNorway has claim to a huge area of Antarctica. Queen Maud's land. Subject to the Antarctic Treaty and also recognized by UK, France Australia, etc.
- henearkr 5y agoThe odds of the Arctic becoming ice-free, including continental ice, are really disturbing. See the reports on the probable collapse of the Greenland ice. Whereas there are no such concern in Antarctica, only its ice shelves are threatened.
