Now let's just have a look at the Antarctic Treaty.

How far back does the idea of an international treaty go?

Well,as far back as the 19th century,when eleven nations organised an international event.

When was that exactly?

In 1870.And it was called the Polar Research Meeting.

And then,not long after that,they organised something called the First International Polar Year.
不久之后，他们组织了第一次国际极地年。
And that took place when exactly?

Over two years from 1882 to 1883.But it wasn't until the 1950s that the idea of an international treaty was proposed.

What do you see as the main achievements of the treaty?

Well,firstly it means that the continent is reserved for peaceful use.

That's Article 1,isn't it? Yes...

That's important since the territory belongs to everyone.

Yes but not as important as Article 5,which prohibits any nuclear explosions or waste disposal.

Which is marvellous.Well,I'm afraid we're going to have to stop there because I'm afraid we've run out of time.
太了不起了。恐怕我们今天得到这里了，因为我们没有时间了。
