One year ago today, over 150 musical acts performed in eleven locations around the world to call attention to the global problem of climate change. The once-in-a-lifetime event known as 'Live Earth' established that the gradual warming of the Earth is a matter of grave concern for all people of all nations.
However, while hundreds of thousands attended these spectacular events live and millions more watched on television and via the Internet, the most important concert of Live Earth was in front of just seventeen fans.
As Nunatak performed at the Rothera Research Station in Antarctica, the stark and untouched wilderness behind them showed that there are still places on Earth unsoiled by human industrialization.
Today, on the one-year anniversary of this momentous event, The New Atlantis Company is proud to offer private citizens the unique opportunity to secure Antarctica's future, one acre at a time. While eight countries have laid claim to various segments of Antarctica, New Atlantis itself is a land unclaimed by any sovereign state.
Home for penguins, seals, krill, and albatrosses, it is also home to the amazing Bentley Subglacial Trench, the deepest valley on the entire Antarctic continent at 2,540 meters below sea level.
Each acre of New Atlantis can be bought free and clear for as low as $49 (plus shipping and handling). New Atlanteans will be sent a deed establishing their land claim along with a map of New Atlantis. Each deed is printed on simulated parchment paper and is suitable for framing.
