The Ross dependency is a territory administered by new zealand Where was it?

Answer 1

The Ross Dependency is part of Antarctica. It is important because it is where the southernmost unfrozen water will be found. In our summer naturally. Ross Island is a smallish island in the Dependency, which is home to the USA's McMurdo Base, and NZ's Scott Base.

In summer quite large ships may dock at McMurdo to unload supplies for the other stations in the interior of Antarctica. Other stations so supplied are Amunsden-Scott Station at the South Pole, Scott Base, and in summer various temporary science camps.

Actually territorial claims to Antarctica are in limbo, since the Antarctic Treaty does not recognize them.

Christchurch is the airport most commonly used for air transport to Antarctica, though Invercargill has occasionally been used. Both can take very large planes.
