Westarctica is an area of desolate land in Western Antarctica south of 60° latitude and between 90° and 150° west longitude, an area that was unclaimed until Travis McHenry claimed it by filing a claimant letter with nine world governments, a declaration of status not recognized by most established countries, in 2001. The territory consists of the majority of Marie Byrd Land and a large proportion of Ellsworth Land with a few additional non-contiguous claims. It has no year round residents, although seasonal research stations are located in the region. The nation of Westarctica was founded though a loophole in the Antarctic Treaty.
