Antarctic Treaty
Another Answer
No single country has control over any part of Antarctica, or any part of planet earth south of 60 degrees South latitude: it is all governed by The Antarctic Treaty.
Australia is one of the countries that is a signatory to the treaty, and only has control over its citizens who travel south of 60 degrees South latitude.

Antarctica is a condominium in the sense of ownership, and the governing document is the Antarctic Treaty. Australia, Great Britain, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, France, Norway -- to name a few -- are all in agreement as to the use of the land on earth south of 60 degrees S, which includes the continent of Antarctica.
No. As a result of Australia's pioneering work in Antarctica, 42% of the continent was established as the Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT) in 1936. In 1947, the Australian Government formed the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE) to set up and maintain scientific research stations in Antarctica. ANARE participants come from various Federal and State government bodies as well as universities. Australia shares its Antarctic Territory with other countries, notably Russia, who has a number of stations in the AAT.
The agreement among nations representing about 80% of the earth's population is called the Antarctic Treaty.
The earth south of 60 degrees South Latitude is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, and this geography includes the continent of Antarctica. The treaty negates all existing claims and prohibits future claims on Antarctic territory.
