All \u2018measures of a military nature\u2019 \u2013 other than logistic and technical support for scientific endeavours \u2013 are prohibited by the Antarctic Treaty, which remains widely observed some 66 years after it was negotiated in 1959. However, conversations about \u2018Antarctic security\u2019 appear to be increasing in frequency and salience. Rather than chasing military and national security spectres at the South Pole, we should invest more in diplomatic and political efforts to ensure the ongoing effective and peaceful management of the Antarctic."}
