	The '''Ross Dependency''' is a region of [[Antarctica]] defined by a sector originating at the South Pole, passing along longitudes 160° east to 150° west, and terminating at 60° south. It is claimed by New Zealand. Since the [[Antarctic Treaty]] came into force in 1961, Article IV of which states: "No acts or activities taking place while the present Treaty is in force shall constitute a basis for asserting, supporting or denying a claim to territorial sovereignty in Antarctica or create any rights of sovereignty in Antarctica," most countries do not recognize [[Territorial claims in Antarctica\|territorial claims in Antarctica]].

The '''Ross Dependency''' is a region of [[Antarctica]] defined by a sector originating at the South Pole, passing along longitudes 160° east to 150° west, and terminating at 60° south. It is claimed by New Zealand. Since the [[Antarctic Treaty]] came into force in 1961, Article IV of which states: "No acts or activities taking place while the present Treaty is in force shall constitute a basis for asserting, supporting or denying a claim to territorial sovereignty in Antarctica or create any rights of sovereignty in Antarctica," most countries do not recognise territorial claims in Antarctica.

The Dependency takes its name from Sir [[James Clark Ross]], who discovered the [[Ross Sea]], and includes part of [[Victoria Land]], and most of the [[Ross Ice Shelf]]. [[Ross Island]], [[Balleny Islands]] and the small [[Scott Island]] also form part of the Dependency, as does the ice-covered [[Roosevelt Island]].
