On December 1st 2020, we will celebrate the 61th anniversary of the Antarctic Treaty. After six decades, it continues to shine as a rare beacon of international cooperation. To celebrate this milestone of peace in our civilization with hope and inspiration for future generations – ANTARCTICA DAY is recognized to be December 1st -the day when the Antarctic Treaty was signed in 1959. As an annual event, Antarctica Day encourages participation from around the world. Our aim is to continue expanding Antarctica Day on December 1st as a globally-accessible platform to share, interpret and cherish the values associated with Antarctica for the benefit of present and future generations. This is being accomplished in many ways – Know more about this initiative by clicking the subjects or images below. CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE GLOBAL CELEBRATION
