In the middle of an active volcano at the bottom of the world, dozens of fur seals bask in blowing wet snow. They are mostly unfussed by their two-legged guests. Around them lie cockeyed iron tanks and wooden boats from an early 20th-century whaling settlement, so weathered they’re nearly absorbed by the black sand beach. Traces of Chilean and British bases appear just as humbled.

According to an international treaty, military vessels aren’t allowed in Antarctica without a scientific objective. That’s what the HMCS Margaret Brooke is currently doing in the southern polar region, supporting 15 Canadian climate scientists in their research. Partway through its Antarctic expedition, the Margaret Brooke was joined by the navy’s top commander, Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee.

Antarctica is like no place on Earth. The “White Continent” has lured explorers and scientists to its stunning, ice-encrusted landscape for two centuries. Countries have tried to carve up Antarctica and lay claim, but no one owns it. For 65 years, Antarctica — which is one and a half times the size of Canada — has been governed by a treaty of nations. But with rising geopolitical tensions and a shifting world order, that governance system is now under pressure.

J.D. Vance knocks Democrats' energy policyAt a rally in his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance takes aim at the green policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. In nearly every speech, J.D. Vance, the Republican hopeful for U.S. vice-president, drums home that Americans are being duped by the Democrats' fixation on the low-carbon economy and their wild spending on what Vance calls "green scams.""We need a leader….
