Traditions of the World [Ep. 9] – Antarctica: No Cultural Traditions

Antarctica does not have indigenous cultural traditions. It is governed by the Antarctic Treaty System, which focuses on scientific research and environmental protection. While there are no permanent residents, only temporary scientists and researchers, Antarctica’s unique environment has inspired various cultural and artistic expressions from around the world.

The absence of cultural traditions in Antarctica highlights its status as a natural reserve, dedicated to peace and science. The continent’s pristine environment and extreme conditions have captivated human imagination, leading to numerous artistic and literary works inspired by its landscapes and wildlife.
