This monument is situated on the Chilean side of King George Island. It
honors the Antarctic treaty and the protection of the Antarctic
continent. The inscription is in the different languages of all
countries that are members of the treaty.
Chile was involved in Antarctic research from the beginning of the 20th
century. Luis Pardo Villalon was the captain of the ship that rescued
Sir Shackleton's stranded men after the faithful voyage onboard the
Endurance. The ship sailed from South Georgia to Elephant Island and
ensured that none of the stranded men perished.
