The treaty that was signed between the United Nations to prevent nuclear weapons testing in Antartica was not due to environmental hazards but instead due to the fear scientists and researchers had of awakening a potential frozen apocalyptic scourge similar to the one described in the 1938 novel ‘who goes there’ that later became the infamous 1982 film ‘The Thing’
Some biologists still hypothesize that potentially dangerous extraterrestrial matter might still be frozen in the Antarctic.
