Abstract
The contemporary legal status of Antarctica could soon become a polemical political issue due to the considerable natural resource wealth believed available there for exploitation. This paper examines those legal implications for Antarctica and the Southern Ocean which stem from the 1959 Antarctic Treaty vis-à-vis the emergent law for the sea as embodied in the 1982 UNCLOS III Convention.
