Antarctica

There are technically no countries on the continent of Antarctica. However, seven sovereign states have territorial claims in Antarctica, resulting in the following territories:

Territories of Antarctica:

• Adélie Land (France)
• Argentine Antarctica (Argentina)
• Australian Antarctic Territory (Australia)
• British Antarctic Territory (UK)
• Chilean Antarctic Territory (Chile)
• Peter I Island (Norway)
• Queen Maud Land (Norway)
• Ross Dependency (New Zealand)

Additionally, the United States, Russia, Peru, and South Africa have all reserved their right to claim territory in Antarctica in the future if they so desire. Similarly, Brazil currently has a “zone of interest” but does not have an actual claim.
