Eight oarsmen perform in perfect sync throughout a race, their cadence and power output dictated by the coxswain who quite literally operates the driver’s seat...

It does an admirable job of protecting the land - banning nuclear material, declaring the Antarctic to be a "natural reserve, devoted to peace and science," and prohibiting any mining - but not the surrounding seas, which support a singular ecosystem ranging from krill to penguin, from seal to whale...
