Antarctic Territory, Australian

Islands and territories south of 60° south, between 160° and 45° east longitude, excluding Adélie Land; area 6,044,000 sq km/2,333,600 sq mi of land and 75,800 sq km/29,259 sq mi of ice shelf. The population on the Antarctic continent is limited to scientific personnel.

The Australian Antarctic Territory came into being in 1933, when it was established by a British Order in Council. It includes the following lands: Enderby; Kemp; MacRobertson; Princess Elizabeth; Wilhelm II; Queen Mary; Wilkes; George V; Oates; and Victoria.

A programme of scientific exploration and investigation has been carried out in this area by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE). There are scientific bases at Mawson (established 1954) in MacRobertson Land; at Davis (1957) on the coast of Princess Elizabeth Land; at Casey (1969) in Wilkes Land; and at Macquarie Island (1948).
