Our Common Heritage: Monuments and Sites of the Polar Regions
This paper emphasizes monuments and sites in the Arctic and Antarctic that represent the in situ evidence of visitors to these areas. Indigenous cultural heritage is not included, as it is considered to have problems of conservation and management that set it in a different category from the monuments and sites discussed here. The cultural heritage left in the polar areas by visitors from warmer climes has many common traits with and, at the same time, is often quite different from monuments and sites in non-polar areas of the national territories. In addition, there are international challenges and problems connected with this cultural heritage that best can be overcome through increased information and co-operation across national boundaries. This has recently prompted the establishment of an international expert committee devoted to the subject.
