No country owns any part of Antarctica.
All land and ice south of 60 degrees S is governed by the Antarctic Treaty (1961), and is preserved for the scientific study of the health of planet earth.
Nations including Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina, France and Norway claim territory on the continent, and some of these claims overlap each other. The treaty holds all these claims in abeyance and prohibits future claims.
