| Opplysninger | Based on author's thesis (doctoral - Tiburg University, 2019).. - Introduction to and Objective of this Research -- The Wilderness Concept and its Relevance to the Polar Regions -- Wilderness Protection in Antarctica -- Finland -- Norway -- United States -- Conclusion and Lessons Learnt. - "Antarctica's wilderness values, even though specifically recognized by the Environmental Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty, are rarely considered in practice. This deficiency is especially apparent with regard to a more and more increasing human footprint caused, among others, by a growing number of tourists visiting the region and conducting a broad variety of activities. On the basis of a detailed study of three Arctic wilderness areas - the Hammastunturi Wilderness Reserve (Finland), the Archipelago of Svalbard (Norway) and the Denali National Park and Preserve (Alaska, United States) - as well as the relevant policies and legislation in these countries, Antje Neumann identifies numerous 'lessons learnt' that can serve as suggestions for improving the protection of wilderness in Antarctica".
