'''Queen Elizabeth Land''' is portion of mainland [[Antarctica]] named by the government of the United Kingdom and claimed as part of the [[British Antarctic Territory]], which is the largest of the 14 British Overseas Territories. Situated south of [[Weddell Sea]] and between longitudes 20°W and 80°W, stretching from [[Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf]] to the [[South Pole]]. That territory was unnamed until 2012, though most of it was unofficially known as Edith Ronne Land in 1947–68 and includes areas claimed by the United Kingdom, Chile and Argentina. | '''Queen Elizabeth Land''' is portion of mainland [[Antarctica]] named by the government of the United Kingdom and claimed as part of the [[British Antarctic Territory]], which is the largest of the 14 British Overseas Territories.
