Chile¡¯s President Gabriel Boric travelled to Antarctica¡¯s South Pole on Friday, a place where no other Latin American president has set foot, according to the Chilean government.
Boric led the historic two-day trip, named Operation Pole Star III, to extend the environmental monitoring of pollutants on Antarctica, Chile¡¯s government said in a statement.
He travelled with scientists, armed forces commanders and government ministers from the Chilean capital of Santiago to Punta Arenas, a city in southern Chile, public broadcaster Television Nacional de Chile (TVN) reported. From there, they made several stops before finally reaching the US-run Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, according to TVN.

Chile is one of seven countries that has a territorial claim in Antarctica, alongside Argentina, Australia, France, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom.
It is also a signatory of the Antarctic Treaty, which dictates that the continent may only be used for peaceful and scientific purposes.
While Chile has historically carried out scientific activity in Antarctica¡¯s northern sector, the country¡¯s government is now hoping to expand research into the west of the continent, its statement said.
Boric called his trip to the South Pole an ¡°honor¡± and a source of pride, TVN reported.
¡°This is a milestone for us. It is the first time a Chilean and Latin American President has visited the South Pole,¡± he said, according to TVN. |
