Statistical Data - Population density according to the administrative structure

In the Antarctic Treaty System - which initially began in 1960 - there are now 53 integrated member states, but only 29 of them are full members, with the right to participate in decision-making. Seven of the founding states have defined territorial claims, and the US and Russia have reserved the right to assert claims. The claimed areas are not internationally recognised.

The following claims are on record:

While the declared territorial claims are essentially based on a possible economic use, raw materials and fishing rights, the scientific international cooperation is not yet so strongly subject to national interests. Several countries maintain research and meteorological stations in Antarctica. The most important current stations are listed in the following table.
