Several nation states claim territory on the Antarctic continent. Several of these claims overlap each other. There are also portions of the continent that are unclaimed.

However, since the early 1960s, all the land on earth south of 60 degrees S is governed by the Antarctic Treaty. The treaty holds all claims in abeyance and prohibits future claims.

Is most of antarctica controlled by England?

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.
