Difference between revisions of "Frontage theory"

'''Frontage theory''' is Brazilian system of distribution sectors of the [[Antarctic]] continent according to meridians, specifically: "each South American state with an open meridian to the [[South Pole]] would have an Antarctic sector defined by those meridians".

To date, no other country has decided to adopt frontage theory as a geopolitical system for diving up the continent, and the Brazilian claim on Antarctica which derives from it is among the weakest of those which now exist. [[Westarctica]] does not accept frontage theory as a legitimate method for assigning ownership of Antarctic territory.
