		The Argentine Antarctica or the Argentine Antarctic Sector, that we consider as a part of our national territory, is included in an extended area over the southern extreme, where particular environmental conditions —that are different from those of South America- are prevailing and have an important influence on human presence and activities.
		The Argentina presence in the Argentine Sector, accordingly to the "criollos" seal-hunters and to the historical research, started during the second decade of the XIX century; someone even states that it started in the end of the former century.
		Argentine presence on land, sea and air in the whole Sector, including the South Pole, reached for three times alternatively by Navy and Air Force aircrafts and by the terrestrial Army expedition so-called Operation 90.

	Bacteria Eat Up Oil in Antarctica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Argentine scientists are developing a biological process for combating oil spills in the extremely cold temperatures of the immense ice-covered continent.
		The studies proved that biological remediation is possible in Antarctica, although there is not a single strategy: it depends on the extent of the contamination and on the history of the soils being treated.
		The tests "confirm that even in extreme environments there is a remarkable adaptation of the bacteria to the contaminating compounds, and that the (bio-remediation) process could prove satisfactory during the short summer period," conclude MacCormack and Ruberto in their report.

	Background
		The 1968/69 Crew, who were later called Soberanía Patrol and who founded Marambio Base, came to Antarctica on the icebreaker and were designated to the Petrel Air Naval Station and to Teniente Matienzo Air Base which was in a state of emergency.
		The foundation coincides with the opening of the first airstrip on the 6th Continent, and it is an outstanding historic event because it enabled to break the isolation in this part of the world -before this, it was only possible to get there in summer by sea when the ice permitted it.
		To speak about an airstrip is astonishing because all we know of Antarctica is that it has a huge covering of eternal ice and snow.
