History of the Korean Involvement in Antarctica and the Future of Korean Antarctic Research

Korea has a history of Antarctic activity of no more than 20 years, but it has been a very active 20 years. Korea joined the ATCP(Antarctic Treaty Consultative Party) in 1989. In 1990 Korea also joined SCAR as a member. As a result Korea works in favour of conserving the pristine Antarctic environment. In the future Korean Antarctic Activity will be centred on a variety of progressive research projects within a context of international co-operation.
