SECTION 19. Role of Peoples Organizations. — The State shall recognize and respect the role of independent ICCs/IPs organizations to enable the ICCs/IPs to pursue and protect their legitimate and collective interests and aspirations through peaceful and lawful means. On October 5th, 1839 another explorer, James Clark Ross began a series of Antarctic voyages lasting a total of 4 years and 5 months. Ross and his crew sailed two heavily armored warships thousands of miles, losing many men from hurricanes and icebergs, looking for an entry point beyond the southern glacial wall. Upon first confronting the massive barrier Captain Ross wrote of the wall, “extending from its eastern extreme point as far as the eye could discern to the eastward. It presented an extraordinary appearance, gradually increasing in height, as we got nearer to it, and proving at length to be a perpendicular cliff of ice, between one hundred and fifty feet and two hundred feet above the level of the sea, perfectly flat and level at the top, and without any fissures or promontories on its even seaward face. We might with equal chance of success try to sail through the cliffs of Dover, as to penetrate such a mass.” Yes, the original map seems to be made a flat earther, showcasing a model of the earth some flat earthers ascribe to: that beyond Antarctica, which acts as a sort of barrier surrounding the known world, there are many vast undiscovered continents, which are habitable and rich with life, there could even be multiple barriers, concentric rings of glaciers which lie at the edges of their sun’s light. While the Canals of Aken are connected to the outside oceans, the huge cave system of Nidavellir is entirely closed off from the outside world. As I imagine it, it would have been that way for hundreds of millions of years, hosting perhaps the most alien forms of life to be found anywhere in this setting. It possesses both submerged and unsubmerged regions. Think along the lines of Trollman’s Diyu project for the kinds of wildlife and ecosystems that could dwell here.

The earth is (allegedly) only 25,000 miles in circumference. Looking at a typical globe, Antarctica is about the same size as Australia. Yet, if the above article citation is true, why did it take Cook 60,000 miles to circumnavigate Antarctica? By the way, this is the “massive glacier wall” the article referred to -it is the coastline of Antarctica: Both the terms IPs and ICCs refer to homogenous societies identified by self-ascription and ascription by others, who have continuously lived as a community on communally bounded and defined territory, sharing common bonds of customs, traditions and other cultural traits, through resistance to political, social and cultural inroads to colonization, non-indigenous religions and culture. Whereas, the Filipino majority learned very well the ways of the colonial masters by adapting to their laws and practices, the minority (IPs), consciously asserted the integrity of their ancestral territories, pre-Hispanic native culture and justice systems which are viewed as diametrically opposed to the majority's world view, but which the IPRA law attempts to recognize and interface with the national legal system. George Powell, a British sealer, and Nathaniel B. Palmer, an American sealer, discover the South Orkney Islands. Powell annexes them for the British. This island can be thought of as a giant cone of an extinct volcano, filled almost to the brim with water. The surface of this enormous lake would lie several hundred meters above sea level, and extend down to beneath the ocean floor. At the South Pole of planet Earth is Antarctica, the fifth-largest continent. NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey have stitched together thousands of satellite images to create the interactive Landsat Image Mosaic Of Antarctica (LIMA) that together provide a detailed clear view of the icy continent of Antarctica.

Following the creation of the United Nations, the ILO with the participation of other parts of the UN system created the Indigenous and Tribal Populations Convention (No. 107). Convention No. 107 was adopted in 1957 as the first international treaty on this subject. [7] To the researchers’ surprise, the numbers suggested that somewhere between 10,000 and 50,000 people were living in the combined region of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and Puerto Rico in the centuries before Europeans arrived. This number is much lower than previous estimates and historical accounts of hundreds of thousands to millions of people.
