Human History of The Antarctic with Seb Coulthard
Who were the first humans in the Antarctic? Where does the name Antarctic come from? What does the future hold for the Antarctic and how is it governed? In this fascinating talk, Polar historian Seb Coulthard looks over the 200 years of recorded history of Antarctica including the early explorers, “science diplomacy” and the creation of international spaces, demilitarisation and the subsequent Antarctic Treaty (1959-61), as well as the concept of Antarctica that was around for centuries before its discovery.
