Question SA-9. Here is the text reference (p. 255/2):

The issues of conservation and development are especially important in the South American Quadrant of Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic waters and islands nearby. The geological continuity to oil and gas producing areas in the tip of South America and the relatively benign climate suggest that the Antarctic Peninsula could be the place where Antarctic oil might first be found, if it does exist. Should this happen without a strong legal framework to control or prohibit development, it might be impossible to stop one of the many nations with a presence on the Peninsula from developing this resource. And finally, the fact that three nations (Argentina, Chile and the United Kingdom) have claims on the Peninsula suggests that the geopolitics of this resource development could quickly turn confrontational.
