Lots of countries do! Seven states claim territory, and some of the territories overlap. It's a bit of a mess. The Antarctic Treaty is thought to defer or suspend these claims, but apparently it doesn't. So it's all rather complicated.

That was a pretty interesting article.
The real Cold War could be down the road :P

ES NUESTRA, Y LAS MALVINAS ARGENTIIIIIIINAS
Naa, I'm just joking. That's the reenactment of a "patriot" Argentine, kind of like a redneck from the bible belt that says "America" like "murica".

Haha, I remember seeing in a thread elsewhere you said you're South American born. Are you Argentinian if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah, born, raised and currently living. I don't like it much here and it's not the best place to live, but hey, gotta work with what's given.
I was actually surprised when I saw your post, had to do a double-take: wait, an Argentina post... ON MY VOAT FRONTPAGE? I'm not exactly "patriotic", or proud of what our governing rulers say and do, but seeing my country is slightly relevant here on voat gives me the fuzzies.

If the United States found even one drop of oil it would be a short war indeed.

If Russia found one warm seaport there. Russian penguins would slowly enter until it was annexed.

So will I, once I patent my idea for "Supercooled Dihydrogen Monoxide particles as foundations for temporary construction". Just as soon as the USPTO approves my patent for "Color-coded pasteboard plaques, ranked and categorized for used in structured rule sets".
