Sign in to saveNew Zealand's territorial claim in Antarctica
Ross Dependency is a large region of Antarctica that New Zealand claims as its territory, though this claim is not internationally recognized due to the Antarctic Treaty System, which sets aside all territorial claims in Antarctica for the sake of scientific cooperation. It matters primarily as a symbol of New Zealand's historical involvement in Antarctic exploration and as a reminder of how the international community chose to manage Antarctica as a shared space rather than allowing nations to divide it up among themselves.
