I am no history buff, but I believe there was a treaty signed by most 1st world countries that gives rights to Antarctica to every country equally. It makes you wonder…
There were multiple overlapping claims on sectors of Antarctica, so the treaty set all territorial claims aside. Kind of tough to mine for minerals through nearly 2 km of ice cap thickness.
Jules Verne had Captain Nemo claim Antarctica in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas" (1870).
