What happens when the Antarctic treaty expires?

America, China, Russia and India will invalidate any claims and take up land. By the time the treaty expires, every country in it will be irrevant.

Keep your shit humor to threads with reddit arrows or golden smiling men in the OP. This thread had tremendous potential for actual discussion, because it's an actual topic, a rarity on this shithole, and you guys go with your nonsensical garbage that belongs on /b/, or /trash/. Fuck you guys, and fuck Hiro for listening to /pol/ and unfiltering cuck.
>>52835269
Explained above.

>This thread had tremendous potential for actual discussion
Such as? It's literally a diagram on claims on a block of ice.
Did you want to discuss who Japan is going to buy the most seal meat from?
Kill yourself you contrarian faggot.
So why are the borders like that? Why are they slices of pie?
Why do A*gies love getting cucked by us so much?
>>52835377
How else would you draw borders in a continent of nothingness? You can only make them arbitraty and considering it's a pole, sectors are the most reasonable.
It also perfectly maps to claiming countries/
>>52835371
Like I don't know how about WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ANTARCTIC TREATY EXPIRES? HOW ABOUT THE ENTIRE REASON THE THREAD WAS CREATED? If it was something like >>52834376, I'd get it, but it's not. OP clearly asks a question, and leaves a thought-provoking hook, which is grade A fuel for discussions, and then out of nowhere, even though there were no t. alberto barbosas, everyone starts acting like this a designated shitposting thread, just going back and forth with stupid, idotic, funnyjunk-tier memes.

I think an essential equivalent will be signed, but I'd like to hear what other people have to say, otherwise, I wouldn't be in this thread. This may come as a surprise to you, but I clicked this thread because I was interested in the topic, not in the hope there'd be dank memes in here.
>>52835634
Kurt Russell must travel to Antarctica to complete the ritual and finally defeat The Thing
>>52835678
Maybe, now stick with me here.
Still with me?
Maybe the topic is shit and lacks any depth for discussion. Maybe no one has any clue what a bunch of countries would do over a block of ice with no resources. Maybe this thread is lucky it got any replies at all.
>>52835761
Of course it's all speculation, but then what's the fucking point of 4chan if speculation isn't allowed?
>>52835798
It's not the fact that's it's speculation, it's the fact there's nothing to speculate over.
>>52835589
>Wikipedia is a place to learn facts. It is not a place for discussion.
The point is there's nothing really to discuss in this thread.
They'll just keep signing new treaties until technology advances to a point where we can mass inhabit Antarctica and that's all there is to it.
That's it
Chinks and American companies are eager beavers to exploit the resources there, it's also a large chunk of habitable land depending on how much the ice recedes. China especially has been developing their Antarctic and Arctic interests, a newly built Chinese ice breaker just left dock in Australia for Antarctica with over 200 scientists on board the other month which is joining an already pretty big fleet of ice breakers that are meant for the Arctic .
I imagine there'd be a pretty big outpouring socially to keep the status quo(science only, no true military basing/military tests and no mining) unless global warming is confirmed to be a meme and the rest of the worlds fisheries are magically replenished by fishing stock quotas that are never enforced outside of Europe, North America and Australia.
>>52835819
>>52835835
How is there nothing to speculate over? There are many possibilities here.
Fucking frogs ruining our claim
>ameriautists
>>52834380
Split evenly with the Empire members who are there.
A third to us, a third to Australia and a third to New Zealand. Get some nice Union Jacks up there
>>52835856
Either we sign another treaty or we fish there, there's nothing to speculate over, there's no probability for war or any real conflict and there's definitely no possibility that someone would found a nation there.
>>52835891
Why not? That's a very valuable piece of land there.
>>52835926
Can we even call it land?
>>52835966
It's a very valuable landmass.
>>52835881
Split it four ways between Chile, Argentina, NZ and Australia.
>>52835978
What's valuable about it?
>>52836006
PETROL AND NATURAL GAS YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER
>>52836006
Resources, obviously. For some countries, pure space, which is easier to develop for your own when there's nothing there and no native population.
>>52836006
Antarctica had flora/fauna up until recently in geological time. There will definitely be oil/coal/natural gas there.
>>52836006
pinguins doh
>>52836044
>>52836050
There's shit all of the resources there apparently.
It'd probably cost more getting it out than what you'd get for them.
>>52836090
And why is that?
>>52836102
Dealing with the environment probably isn't very cheap.
>>52835798
4chan is here to fuck with people like you
>>52836090
That's why no one is doing anything right now. We're waiting for the ice to melt.
>>52836090
>There's shit all of the resources there apparently
That's simply not true. Ignoring for a second all the minerals that could be mined, you realize Antarctica was, for hundreds of millions of years, covered in forest right? Fucking dinosaurs lived there before it went south and became a frozen waste land. There will be a shit load of untouched oil/coal.
>>52834380
Why does the UK hate us?
>>52835986
Bad colonial, bad!
Although maybe we could give Chile a slice for the lifework of based Pinochet.
>>52835926
Depends on how large of a settlement you'd realistically want there. Permafrost is hard to farm, day/night cycle is fucked so you'd need a ton of greenhouses, fishing would be regulated and the marine ecosystem is probably not going to be in good shape a few decades from now. They'd have good access to solar and wind power though with all the fresh water they could ever need.
You could definitely get something up and running there, but I don't really know how viable it'd be for the settlement to be independent and not heavily rely on imports from a parent country or company to keep up with modern living standards. That said, who knows what the fuck technology is going to exist when this shit becomes a reality, especially with 3d printing.

Nobody, no claims shall be asserted while the Antarctic Treaty is in force. (Article 4)

Yeah, until we run out of cheaper reserves.
