Who Owns Antarctica?



We are used to the idea that every piece of land is owned by someone somewhere, and that every piece of land belongs to one nation or another. Antarctica is an exception, but not because no one wanted it. The history of Antarctic claims is pretty complicated, and the present configuration is pretty weird, so who better than CGP Grey to explain it to us in less than five minutes?

I love this guy's little stick figures, even more than Randall Munroe's 'xkcd' characters ... although Cueball, Black Hat, Megan, and Ponytail do tend to show more personality.
