Can I use the passport to travel?

No, the Antarctica World Passport is not an official document. Antarctica is a shared continent and no passport exists because no nation has a single claim. Antarctica is governed by a treaty which promotes peace and cooperation, for the benefit of all humanity, which is why we chose Antarctica as a symbol of a new World Citizen.

Do you need my personal details to fill out the passport?

No, we do not process your personal data and we always leave the name & details page blank so you can fill these details yourself, or gift the passport to a friend.

What is the difference between the passports?

The first passport edition was produced in 2008, and as the years go by we need to update the information pages with more relevant and current data about the climate emergency. We have produced two foreign language passports: French (select Paris edition), or French/German/Russian/English (select Diversity United).

Antarctica World Passport is a limited-edition artwork created by the intertnationally renown artists Lucy + Jorge Orta. For the artists, Antarctica is a form of Utopia: the continent's extreme climate imposes collaboration and solidarity. The immaculate ice landscape is a filter for the kaleidoscope that make up our nations and multi-ethnic identities, concentrating the colours, races and creeds into the sum of light, and the purity of Hope.

Antarctica has the earth's most hostile climatic conditions, it has the world's largest ice-desert and temperatures can drop as low as -80° C. Yet, it is an immense nature reserve whose glaciers contain 70% of the planet's fresh water. However, Antarctica's unique ecosystem in serious danger due to global warming. No permanent human settlements exist, there is no native population and it's the only politically neutral region on earth not claimed by any country. The governing Antarctic Treaty, which unites over 50 nations, has decreed Antarctica a continent dedicated to scientific research with common pacific aims: to encourage international cooperation and protect the environment for future generations.

The Antartica World Passport is a powerful and universal document signaling hope. To obtain a passport choose from the editions available in different languages:
