For more on these, visit the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_territorial_claims#Official_claims Calling them "territories" is stretching the meaning of the word "territory", especially since the above are not recognized by most of the countries of the world. Also, the United States has not claimed any part of Antarctica, but it reserves the right to do so in the future, if necessary. A large part of the Antarctic coast is named "Wilkes Land", named for the American naval captain who discovered it. Wilkes Land is just as important as any of the other ones named above, since none of them is internationally recognized. D.A.W.
