Russia and the United States returned to that forbidding area in 1992, capping off thirty-five years of unusual Cold War political cooperation in Antarctica by jointly staffing a research station on Weddell Sea pack ice. Both of these expeditions took place near the only continent without indigenous people or any legacy of effective national sovereignty.
