In 1768, Captain Cook set sail with secret instructions: to find the last unknown continent, theorised to lie at the globe's most southern extreme.
More than 250 years later, that continent remains protected by an international treaty. Britain's slice is about eight times as big as Britain itself – and its exposed rock makes it the best part of Antarctica for mining.
The British Antarctica Territory (BAT), in short, could make Britain fabulously wealthy. The treaty is up for discussion in 2048. But other countries want that slice...
Tom and Calum discuss the BAT's history, current state, and future – a Anglofuturist's dream.
