#ross dependency

TheRoss Dependency (named for British explorer Sir James Clark Ross) was originally a British claim in Antarctica (from 1841), before being passed to New Zealand control in the 1920s.  Since the enactment of the Antarctic Treaty in 1961, most of the world no longer recognizes Antarctic claims, though that hardly stops anyone from claiming them anyway…
