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
