The Antarctic region is governed by the Antarctic Treaty System and is dedicated to peaceful scientific research. While there are no permanent sovereign states on the continent, several nearby territories administered by other countries are categorised under this region. The continent itself is the coldest, driest, and windiest place on Earth, holding around 70 percent of the world's fresh water in its ice sheets.
