PIRATAS
this is the only reason uk wants las islas malvinas, to stay close to the antartic to steal territories and explote resources.

Does that mean I get to be your father now?
>>70334499
they're obsessed
When do we stop any Argentinian boats from coming near it? Fucking scum.
Sharing a border with Norway is fine.
France annex incoming.
>>70334522
No, but it should mean that Eastern Canada is Portuguese.
>>70334522
why, did you molest them?
>>70333775
>Canadians in charge of Geography
We literally border the Antarctic
>>70334559
Yeah, sure. And while we're at it I'll give Western Australia back to the dumbass Dutch sailors who kept crashing into it.
>>70333775
The UK does legitimate scientific research. We literally discovered the hole in the o-zone.
I claim the south pole in the name of australia, literally the only first world country below the equator.
>>70334640
neat, now close it
>>70334608
kek
>>70334612
Actually, Western Australia's discovery is theorised to have been found by us when we went to Timor.
There's a drawing of a kangaroo that predates the Dutch arrival, but we only saw desert and went back, presumably.
Can you imagine? Canada Australia and Brazil. The sheer amount of shitposting.
Soon.

>The Vanuatu group of islands first had contact with Europeans in 1606, when the Portuguese explorer Pedro Fernandes de Queirós, sailing for the Spanish Crown, arrived on the largest island and called the group of islands La Austrialia del Espiritu Santo or "The Southern Land of the Holy Spirit", believing he had arrived in Terra Australis or Australia.

What about New Zealand? Are you saying they're just Aussies in denial?

It would've been before 1593.
It's just an hypothesis, but I never presented it as more than that.
>>70334916
No I just forgot they existed.
>>70334708
white-ness doesn't make it a good country.
proof: look at eastern europe, and greece, spain, and portugal, and england
>>70334916

According to this map i can shotpost in /ausnz/
>wanting a frozen territory
Why tho? We only have a little base(currently building a bigger), a dock for our ships to stay and a airfield. You don't need anything bigger than that.
>>70335152
>You don't need anything bigger than that.
For indoor climbing obviously. Duh.
>>70335196
>have small mountains outside where you can climb
>Nah, i rather climb inside the base.
>>70333775
> Using a old map
Our claim has extended south to the pole for some years now.
>>70335271
>>have small mountains outside where you can climb
The research station is on an ice sheet, there's nothing for miles around it.

UNCLAIMED LAND
O HOY SET A SAIL, THE DANISH VIKINGS ARE COMING
>>70335349
Oh. The one they're building it's literally between the mountains.
>>70335431
Even so it wouldn't be very practical to just go rock climbing out there whenever you feel like it, many of these people are scientists and wouldn't want to risk it.
>>70335458
Tru dat. Still, it's not impossible for some crazy fuck doing it.
Reminder an argentine was the first person born there.
LAS ANTARCTIC SON ARGENTINAS!
>>70335390
>>70333775
Why is the norwegian claim so wonky? Why didn't anyone claim the unclaimed land before the treaty?
>>70334551
the antarctic wil be latin american :)

Soon, we will take their Antarctica...THEN WE WILL TAKE WESTERN AUSTRALIA...!
>>70335431
Even then. "Let's go recklessly risk our lives kilometers away from the base and far from any real medical infrastructure, all of that in sub-zero temperatures, just for shit and giggles" seems like a worse plan than just "Let's build an indoor rock-climbing structure.
>>70333775
>tfw too strong to have to claim Antarctic land.
What's so shitty about Marie Byrd Land that no one claimed it?
>>70337270
The claim was essentially projecting your country's shape down towards the geographic pole. That's why Chile's, UK's and Argentina's claims overlap, all our territories overlap at some point on the latitude axis. The UK-Argentina claim in particular is special, since the UK claims it's right because of the Falkands, and a couple more islands eastwards plus the 200 nautical miles of sovereign sea... and we claim said islands to be ours, at least back when the treaty was signed.
>>70341054
All claims were frozen about 50 years ago. No one claimed it by then, and no one can claim it now
>>70341560
I'm quite sure all claims to Antarctic clay have always been frozen
Disgusting colonialist attitudes itt. Just think about the natives!
