Swedish Polar Policies from the First International Polar Year to the Present007–09. While there were, in fact, particular policies connected with each International Polar Year (IPY), in addition to the International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957–58, it was not always self-evident who actually formulated or promulgated the somewhat fragmented policies for Sweden.

At the time, though, the IGY commanded the attention of the world. In 1957 and 1958, nearly 70 countries participated in the largest and most ambitious scientific collaboration the world had ever seen. Tens

Science, Environment, and Sovereignty: The International Geophysical Year in the Antarctic Peninsula remarkably little was known about this vast frozen region. The heroic era of the early twentieth century—which culminated in the famous race to the South Pole between Roald Amundsen and Robert Scott—had barely scratched the surface of scientific knowledge about the Antarctic environment.
