Chile’s government is claiming sovereignty over parts of Antarctica.
But the move is being disputed by Argentina and the United Kingdom.
The frozen continent’s rich natural resources have long been protected under international treaties.

Go feed your people first idiot! Our species are a f cancer, all we’ve done since our inception is war, famine, for no reason too. Instead of sharing, we go after one another.
Global warming makes Antarctica a nations future destination
How can it belong to no one? Are you telling our billionaires that something does not belong to them?
HOW DARE YOU!!
It’s getting heated in the artic
“It’s part of China 🇨🇳 since ancient times”
– The Chinese Communist Party
And Israel, there was a temple there a 1000 years ago that was destroyed by the antarticans.
Haha.. they will claim everything tomorrow the milky way galaxy 😜
And USA needs to bring “democracy” there….
Imagine what will happen when Oil is discovered there!
US: let’s put democracy in there
USA: “Time to overthrow some democratically elected penguins!”
Then they should need demovcracy
Oh! lol
Freedom and democracy for the dolphins
Government protests in Chile, extremely high unemployment, lots of poverty atm, and the government wastes its time pretending to own Antarctica lol.
Humans destroying the earth slowly but surely
UK is disputing! What a joke.
New colonial war is about to start!
Any minute now
The world has gone nuts
Arctic and Antarctica should be owned by no one.
BINGO!.
PROTECTION ETC ONLY.
Bingo. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Arctic most definitely is owned by Russia, Canada and Denmark
Chinese fisherman used to fish there in ancient times so its theirs
Russia china britain have no business being anywhere near it
Russia discovered Antarctica.
@Alex Bort and? They are at the opposite end of the earth lol
Finders keepers
It belongs to Russia alone
We need to not use oil. Become green. Will get rid of this greed
don’t be naive there was always greed about resources and land way way way before oil and they always will be just about other things/resources.
Russia and china opposed to making the seas around antarctica off limits. Says volumes. When the say the west is bad well the east is evil.
Yeah are the east that colonialist and plunder natural resort at west 500-600 years ago?
@Xiao Mose has the west learnt from that? Yes. Has the east? No. With all the lessons of history Russia and China still fight for every scrap of earth even if it is to the detriment of human kind. If you are Chinese i could have a field day on your evil country. Chip on shoulder freaks lol
@Hudson Jaxson II I see, you don’t want to see it or maybe you don’t know it

White continent, hahahhaha such bs.
Chile is joke to think they can have their fair share in Antarctica plz continued be the puppets of Zionists
Russia, Britain, France, Australia and China have no right being there. In fact no one, but them 5 are just pathetic. Sad.
And united states of america
Antarctica belongs to noone.
Australia owns more of Antarctica then anyone else
This is so so worrying
If we go on like this mother earth will be forced to reset to factory settings. Even if it means killing everyone in the process.
One can understand the struggle among the countries located in the Southern hemisphere, but France and Great Britain?
They were among the first countries to set foot on Antarctica so they do have legitimate claims on their sections.
why are you (lucia newman) wearing a mask while outside with no one around and speaking to a camera, making it all the more difficult to understand what you’re saying. this sort of virtue signaling is beyond ridiculous – and you look like a fool.
That’s about the only place left for us to destroy.
0:49 omggg
Antarctica belongs to China, since Accent Time. XiJing Ping.
chilli need to chill or america will put a hot chilli in your chilli
Who’s gonna stop them? The United States? Ha.

antartica belong to china because one chinese died in 1800. so it is against one china policy
Sorry about my message
Oh Lord can’t anything on your beautiful planet , given to us for stewardship, remain free and wild , without man’s terrible footprint exploiting it for monetary purposes
Refuse to listen to anyone wearing a mask 😷

Antarctica Belongs to the a United States.
We are the most powerful country on this planet.
If you don’t like it … Oh well boo hoo . .
According to Britain, we just colonized the continent and it automatically belongs to Britain.
No one . It belong to wilderness
Bring Islam to South America ..to destroy it
