+===Nazi Germany===
 From 1938 - 1939, Nazi Germany explored a portion of the Norwegian claim and the area was christened ''[[New Swabia|Neu-Schwabenland]]'', but this claim was never formalized and was not recognized by any other nation.  It does not conflict with any claim made by Westarctica.
+==South American countries==
+===Brazil===
+[[Brazilian Antarctica]] is a hypothetical Antarctic territory south of 60°S and from 28°W to 53°W, proposed as "Zone of Interest" by Brazil. It exists completely within the British claim as well as the Argentine one. It's claim is based on the legally questionable concept of [[frontage theory]].
+===Uruguay===
+Uruguayan Antarctica (Spanish: Antártida Uruguaya) is the sector of [[Antarctica]] where Professor Julio César Musso believes the Republic of Uruguay should exercise its sovereignty. It was not assigned a specific definition nor meant as a territorial claim, but rather was intended as an area of natural action of the southern maritime projection of Uruguay. Uruguay is part of the [[Antarctic Treaty]] System as a consulting member, and it reserved the right to make a territorial claim.
