The "National Antarctic Programs" are those agencies tasked by their government to implement and manage their national activities in Antarctica, including organising expeditions. Most of these activities focus on the support of scientific research, but they do also contribute to the governance and environmental protection of the Antarctic region under the auspices of the Antarctic Treaty.
