Resumen:
Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered in the early nineteenth-century. In order to become acquainted with the process of incorporation of Antarctica to the scope of the capitalist system we focused on the analyses of landscape in the South Shetland Islands. Archaeological research in Byers Peninsula-Livingston Island provides a first approach to discuss the process of domestication of the landscape. We state that even if many of the basic principles of the capitalist production code are present in the space of Byers Peninsula: making the best out of isolation and power remoteness conditions, produced a series of particularities that show the everyday conflicts between system and ordinary people.
