Who knows what could happen to Antarctica in the future.
The Antarctic Treaty, along with others (e.g. The
Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals, The Convention for the
Conservation of Antarctic Marine life, THE Protocol on Environmental
Protection to the Antarctic Treaty etc) protects Antarctica now. But as
world history shows, treaties are often broken. Create a timeline
like the one below. At the start of the timeline name some important
events and developments that have happened over the human history of
Antarctica. The timeline then splits in two. Predict probable events
that could occur in the future and say how these events could be influenced.
