Likely hood that Russia or the U.S. will claim Ant. in a hundred years time?
Is there any information that either nation has plans to incorporate Ant. into another state or territory? If not, who is more likely to obtain it? -G
Australian stations
Felt the need to make the names of the Aussie bases less ambiguous. They were all named after explorers, so they are naturally ambiguous from day one. Davis already has a disambiguation pages due to the US place names. - Gaz 12:38 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)
...and I am (after some research) about to rename them again. Seems the word "station" is appropriate in their names. See AAD home page. As a generality, I much prefer unambiguous names throughout. ie I would love to move ] to ]. I'm just not spoiling for a fight right now. (one day though...) - Gaz 13:30 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)
Birth
The opening paragraph of this article claims that only one person has been born in Antarctica, but the "Demographics of Antarctica" article says there have been three. What do you think?
Politically nonsense or not it is a na event that hold meaning in Antarctica and to the world. You people are a bunch of wanna be intellectuals with no common sense.
Copyrighted map?
The map appears to be from National Geographic magazine. I'm pretty sure that magazine has a copyright policy. Can someone verify or refute this? (And remove the map if necessary.) --Eitheladar 06:20, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Outposts of Antarctica
This is bad grammar. An outpost of something is a small area offset from the larger, named area. Guam is an outpost of the United States. Any outposts of Antarctica would have to be established elsewhere by Antarctic citizens. I'm thinking of moving the category to Outposts in Antarctica . --Yath 07:07, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Little America
I just created a page for this, but don't really know whether it's already listed on Antarctica under another name... if somebody can help... ] 10:32, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Time Zone
I wonder if someone was to ask you "May I have the time, please?" What would you say? Maybe this is a stupid question but, what's the time zone for Antartica? How's time being calcualted down there? --Garlics82 19:52, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
Link suggestions
An automated Wikipedia link suggester has some possible wiki link suggestions for the Antarctica article, and they have been placed on this page for your convenience.
Tip: Some people find it helpful if these suggestions are shown on this talk page, rather than on another page. To do this, just add {{User:LinkBot/suggestions/Antarctica}} to this page. — LinkBot 09:56, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC) I would like to request a Tourism of Antarctica article, but I don't know where I would. I'll post this on the Economy of Antarctica talk page too. Theaterfreak64 00:40, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)Missing Picture
At some point I saw a picture on Wikipedia (or maybe the Commons) of a mountain in Antarctica, and a field of bluish ice in the forground. The caption explained somethign about how the ice was blue from layers melting and refreezing, I believe. I have searched like CRAZY but I can't find the image again. Anyone know what I'm talking about? --Brian Z 04:57, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Image:Lake_Fryxell.jpg was the one! Thanks so much Worldtraveller!. --Brian Z 04:30, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
Altered Picture
Why is an altered version of the Lake Fryxell picture used? The original (http://photolibrary.usap.gov/AntarcticaLibrary/LAKEFRYXELL.JPG) shows a lovely sky with a few small clouds, while the altered version puts a larger expanse of obviously fake-looking digital blue sky gradient over everything. Based on my technical expertise as a reader of a Kim Stanley Robinson novel, I get the impression that little clouds are important down there, or at least, I think they make for a nicer picture. Would you agree? Mike Serfas 18:29, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Area?
This article does not mention the size of Antarctica (surface area, km²). — Timwi 19:08, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
External Links
Does the South Shetland page need its own Educative Links section? How is this different than the other external links, which appear to be educational as well? -- Dave C. 19:56, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Can I claim Antartica?
So, is it possible for two young navigators to claim the slice between 90 degrees and 150?
Hello Everyking, Government of Dominion of Melchizedek has official recognition from UN member states so its claim has more authority, and its claim is much older than yours. Melchizedek's Ambassador, Dr. Dewey Painter has actually spent 6 months there. Please return the reference to the article.
I, Nachomania, wish to claim 1000 acres of Antarctica, maily for camping/exploration/barbeques. The land will be owned by Canada, with me as its premier, and probable sole resident. Just want to make sure everyone knows. Ok? :) I wish! Also, I wish about the barbeque. I'll be in my backyard...anyways, you probably couldn't, becuase you're not a country, and, if you were, I don't think it would go to well in the world today. Land claims are more...BNA era at the latest, really. Ooh! Triangle character!Δ! I hope that answers your question! User:Nachomania 19:24, 24 April 2006 (UTC) And I, Jimbo, contest your claim. I also claim ALL of Antartica for Canada, with ME as its Premier. Ohh, and I did so like a week before you did. So there, what are you gonna do about it :P
Literature, Cinema, and TV set in Antarctica
Why do we have a huge section that's just a list of non-important films and anime, that is almost as beg as the rest of the Article? --Mariano July 5, 2005 08:05 (UTC)
