Antarctica against the war

Heh. This picture, and text, appeared on the BBC’s site. The sentiment is a little hippie-dippie “I’d like to teach the world to sing” for my tastes, but what the hell:

“We organized a rally here at the US Amundsen-Scott Station, South Pole, Antarctica. We were only five rallying, probably the smallest protest in the world. Antarctica is the only continent where no wars ever happened and where all countries recognise that the only way to survive is collaboration.”

- Paolo G. Calisse, Amundsen-Scott Station, South Pole, Antarctica

(Thanks to Morgan for pointing this out!)
