Desde hace siglos, la Antártida se afirmó en el imaginario globalcomo un continente extremo, lejano, inhóspito: un territorio hostil.En un comienzo se percibió como tal a raíz de las enormes dificultadesque debieron enfrentar sus primeros, heroicos y aventuradosexploradores, pero hoy en día sigue alimentando temores colectivospor su condición de «indicador» científico del precario estado desalud del medioambiente planetario. Sin embargo, en un extremoopuesto, sus paisajes glaciales también se valoraron como cifra debelleza natural, lo que admite apreciarla con una mirada más serena.Este libro plantea que, en la historia del territorio de las reclamacionesantárticas, superpuestas y no resueltas de Argentina, Chiley Reino Unido, imaginar dichos paisajes de una u otra manerano fue un acto inocente. Por lo contrario, los «tres» paisajes correspondientesal territorio en disputa se presentaron como vehículode discursos de identificación nacional diferentes con que cada unobuscó legitimarse como país antártico en un contexto en que debióaprender a coexistir con los demás. Se trata de imaginarios que seexpresan en representaciones como fotografías, relatos de viajes,informes de expediciones, novelas de ficción, libros y revistas degeografía o geopolítica, pero también versan en diferente manerasde intervenir y transformar el espacio, ya sea a través de obras dearquitectura, infraestructura o políticas territoriales más generales. 10
