Yes MERGE. Inge 18:01, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

My "yes merge" comment above was intended for the merger of Dronning Maud Land and Queen Maude Land.Inge 20:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

• Better still: merge also the (sub-)antarctic uninhabited Norwegian islands into the same article (it has already been moved to a common name: Norwegian Antarctic Territory) Fastifex 23:24, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Borders

I believe I learned that the Norwegian Antarctic territory is the only claim that doesn't extend to 90S and doesn't have a definite northern limit (whereas the rest of them specifically run from 60S to 90S. Can this be a) confirmed and b) added (if confirmed)? --Canuckguy 22:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I've learned the same, but found no documentation to back me up, so I haven't changed the errors in various articles. The map at Image:Antarctica.jpg does appear to support that QML is not a sector. Jørgen 18:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

And, by the way, I think the reason for this is that Norway promotes the mid-line principle rather than the sector principle in the border conflict with Russia in the Arctic Ocean, and doesn't want the Antarctic claim to be inconsistent with this. Jørgen 18:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
