Anthropocene Antarctica offers new ways of thinking about the ‘Continent for Science and Peace’ in a time of planetary environmental change. In the Anthropocene, Antarctica has become central to the Earth’s future. Ice cores taken from its interior reveal the deep environmental history of the planet and warming ocean currents are ominously destabilising the glaciers around its edges, presaging sea-level rise in decades and centuries to come. At the same time, proliferating research stations and tourist numbers challenge stereotypes of the continent as the ‘last wilderness.’ The Anthropocene brings Antarctica nearer in thought, entangled with our everyday actions. If the Anthropocene signals the end of the idea of Nature as separate from humans, then the Antarctic, long considered the material embodiment of this idea, faces a radical reframing. Understanding the southern polar region in the twenty-first century requires contributions across the disciplinary spectrum. This collection paves the way for researchers in the Environmental Humanities, Law and Social Sciences to engage critically with the Antarctic, fostering a community of scholars who can act with natural scientists to address the globally significant environmental issues that face this vitally important part of the planet.

Antarctica has been framed in multiple ways over the course of its human history, including as a place for profit and as a place to protect. Contemporary Antarctica is seen simultaneously as fragile and treacherous; the continent is cast as a place that both threatens humankind and needs to be protected from the effects of anthropogenic climate change. Such dissonance is key to representations that call upon Antarctica to embody environmental ideas. This chapter examines how the fragile connotations of Antarctic imagery have been put to use in advertising material. First, it addresses the various ways in which Antarctica has been popularly framed since humans first began to physically interact with the place. A discussion of the commercialisation of polar imagery is followed by an analysis of three international advertising campaigns: ABB’s ‘amazing what you save’ (2002, 2005, 2008); Westpac’s ‘Equator Principles’ (2003, 2008); and Diesel’s ‘Global Warming Ready’ (2007) campaigns. In these case studies, advertisements for three very different industries are used as a proxy for accessing dominant attitudes towards the far south and to illustrate a contemporary face of the commercial history of Antarctica.
