President Javier Milei arrived at the Argentine Marambio Base in Antarctica at noon on Saturday, intending to launch a contamination control program promoted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The President’s Office wrote in an X post that Milei left the city of Río Gallegos for Antarctica after 9 a.m. “President Javier Milei departs for the Marambio Joint Antarctic Base” was the message on the President’s departure. Milei went into the white continent with an IAEA team including its Argentine president, Rafael Gorssi. The trip is part of NUTEC Plastics, an IAEA initiative to address the global challenge of plastic pollution.
