Antarctica does not continent any countries. However, many countries have claimed land in Antarctica, although these claims are virtually unrecognized.

In 1908, United Kingdom clamied the British Antarctic Territory, limited to 20°W to 80°W.

In 1923, New Zealand claimed the Ross Dependency, limited to 150°W to 160°E

In 1924, France claimed Adélie Land, limited to 142°2′E to 136°11′E

In 1929, Norway claimed Peter I Island, limited to 68°50′S, 90°35′W

In 1933, Australia claimed Australian Antarctic Territory, limited to 160°E to 142°2′E and 136°11′E to 44°38′E

In 1939, Norway claimed Queen Maud Land, limited to 44°38′E to 20°W

In 1940, Chile claimed Antarctic Chilean Territory, limited to 53°W to 90°W

In 1943, Argentina claimed Argentine Antarctica, limited to 25°W to 74°W

The United States and Russia reserve the right to make claims in the future.
