Difference between revisions of "Ross Dependency"

[[Ross Island]], the [[Balleny Islands]], and the ice-covered [[Roosevelt Island]] also form part of the Dependency, as does [[Cronenwett Island]], which lies directly on the 150 degree line of longitude, half inside the Ross Dependency and half inside [[Westarctica]].  Westarctica has claimed the Islands as its own and has notified the government of New Zealand accordingly.  These Islands and [[Peter I Island]] represent the only territorial claims of Westarctica outside of Marie Byrd Land.
