Best Answer

No land south of 60 degrees S on earth is 'owned' by anyone, nation-state or otherwise.

All this land is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, which specifically holds all existing land claims in abeyance, and prohibits future land claims.

Ownership of Antarctica is not important, because the phenomenon does not exist.
