Freshwater resources on the planet are mainly in the different ice formations, which are located especially in the Antarctic region. It is amazing but, at the same time, is worrying that contemporary international law can not give a solution to the legal status of the ice. This concern is heightened considering the scarcity of fresh water on the planet and that the resource is found in large quantities in Antarctica. Uncertainty remains who and how you can use this resource. It is for this reason that this article seeks to clarify what is ultimately the status of the ice, which is necessary to distinguish between the different formations of ice on the planet. Then, it is necessary to analyze the problem of ice under the Antarctic Treaty System and find a satisfactory solution to the current world and future generations.
