“…Such trends have broad implications, but especially in relation to national policies on regional development with different sectoral approaches involving not only tourism but also other conventional and potential industries, such as mining, which may share transport and other infrastructure with tourism [127]. Thus, future research will need to address the political dynamics and socioeconomic interests stemming from polar and sub-polar governance and longstanding competition between gateways [128][129][130].…”

In late 2019, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released their much-awaited Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC). High mountain areas, polar regions, low-lying islands and coastal areas, and ocean and marine ecosystems, were separately dealt by experts to reveal the impacts of climate change on these regions, as well as the responses of the natural and human systems inhabiting or related to these regions. The tourism sector was found, among the main systems, influenced by climate change in the oceanic and cryospheric environments. In this study, we deepen the understanding of tourism and climate interrelationships in the polar regions. In doing so, we step outside the climate resilience of polar tourism paradigm and systematically assess the literature in terms of its gaps relating to an extended framework where the impacts of tourism on climate through a combined and rebound effects lens are in question as well. Following a systematic identification and screening on two major bibliometric databases, a final selection of 93 studies, spanning the 2004–2019 period, are visualized in terms of their thematic and co-authorship networks and a study area based geobibliography, coupled with an emerging hot spots analysis, to help identify gaps for future research.

“…In the decades since, the label "gateway city" has been applied in numerous contexts, including in relation to immigrant gateway cities, which serve as points of entrance for migrants to the surrounding country (Knapp & Vojnovic, 2016); trade gateway cities, which provide entrance points for domestic and international commerce to an economic region (Huff, 2012); and nature gateway cities, which offer tourist point of entry to nature-based attractions such as national parks and remote areas (Line & Costen, 2017). There are gateway cities all around the world, from Jackson, Wyoming, to Rajin-Seonbong, North Korea (Jo & Ducruet, 2007;Line & Costen, 2017), but a substantial subset of the literature focuses specifically on polar, and particularly Antarctic, gateways (Dodds, 2017;Dodds & Salazar, 2021;Elzinga, 2013;Hall, 2000Hall, , 2015Leane, 2016;Leane et al, 2016;Montsion, 2015;Muir et al, 2007;Nielsen et al, 2019;Salazar, 2013).…”

“…These Southern Rim cities can be understood not only as gateways but also as gatekeepers (Dodds, 2017;Dodds & Salazar, 2021), in the sense that, as global urban assemblages, they provide their own nationals and those from afar with access to the internationally governed spaces of the southernmost continent, controlling the flows of both goods and people to and from a region that is among the most inaccessible in the world. Occasionally, the politics of this gatekeeper function become explicit.…”

From gateway to custodian city: Understanding urban residents’ sense of connectedness to Antarctica

Antarctic "gateway" cities have been characterised primarily as portals through which goods and services from around the world can be transported to the frozen continent. However, recent research suggests that this concept should be expanded to address other forms of connectivity, including those felt by people living in these cities rather than simply passing through them. In this article, we explore the meaning of urban relations to Antarctica in the 21st century, focusing on the Australian city of Hobart. We outline evolving understandings of gateway cities, and of Antarctic gateways particularly; examine Hobart's diverse connections to the far south; and analyse current public policy related to the city's "gateway" status. We then report the results of a survey (n = 300) conducted in 2018 to investigate how citizens understand their city's relationship with Antarctica. Survey results show that residents prioritised ecological concerns over economic or political issues and felt strongly that the city should play a custodian role in the future of Antarctica. Hobartians' strong sense of environmental and cultural connectedness with Antarctica suggests a need to rethink the concept of Antarctic gateways if policy is to reflect adequately the meaning of this identity to residents of the cities that circle the southern continent.

“…As Dodds has posited in relation to Australian Antarctic nationalism, these kinds of elements and the 'stories' that are embedded within them become significant in the doing of 'sovereignty labour'. 5 They can forge connections with/between territories and have the capacity to affect national citizenries, in ways that can engender emotional associations with territories. The affective registers of the elemental encountered in the everyday, then, can work to generate and sustain popular support for territorial claims stated within national constitutions and complex scientific submissions made by national governments to the UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS).…”

Going Underground: Banal Nationalism and Subterranean Elements in Argentina’s Falklands/Malvinas Claim

This paper calls for consideration of underground elements that have been typically overlooked or unseen in debates about the nation and banal nationalism. The materialities and (re)presentation of elements like earth, sand and rock have the capacity to be affective, contentious, to embody intimate memories of conflict and to reinforce national territorial aspirations. These subterranean elements have been 'nationalised', bathymetrically mapped and deployed by Argentina to make claims over territories in the South Atlantic, including the Falklands/Malvinas. Rather than reexamining these technical procedures undertaken by the state and analysing what they mean for the geopolitics of the South Atlantic, this paper explores how the subterranean is manifest in everyday reproductions of nationalism and national memory in Argentina. It presents insights from research undertaken in a range of different environments in Argentina, encompassing museums, veterans' centres and public monuments, to demonstrate how the presence of the elemental in the everyday can reinforce and also disrupt banal (territorial) nationalism. Furthermore it argues for conceptualisation of the elemental as part of a relational network that links matter, national citizenries and territories together. The conclusion posits that the subterranean elements and their (re)presentation are essential to understanding the materialisation of banal nationalism as part of the everyday reproduction and rejection of claims to 'national' territory.
