Norway has three dependent '''Antarctic territories''', two of which are located south of 60°S latitude and therefore falling within the [[Antarctic Treaty]].  These include [[Queen Maud Land]] (a sector of Antarctica which spans between 20° west and 45° east, formally claimed on 14 January 1938) and [[Peter I Island]] (formally claimed in 1931), a territory also claimed by [[Westarctica]] in 2005 and declared the nation's capital.
