There's really no reason for any nation state to make any kind of claim to Antarctic Territory.
In addition, the Antarctic Treaty forbids additional claims, while holding existing claims in abeyance. The treaty preserves all land south of 60 degrees S for science, so any existing or future claim would have no other value.

∙ 15y agoThe Antarctic Treaty was established and signed by 12 nations in 1959, including Argentina, Australia, Belgium Chile, France, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, USSR (Russia), South Africa, the United Kingdom and the USA. The Treaty applies to the region south of 60 degrees latitude. The Antarctic Treaty defers claims, but Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, NZ, Norway, and UK assert claims. The US and most other states do not recognize the land or maritime claims of other states and have made no claims themselves but have reserved the right to do so.
