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]]. | 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]].
