This post is about Antarctica There is a present no flag for the continent. Although it does have nine territories eight of which use flags. These are:Happy New Year everybody. I apologise I haven't updated sooner but at present I am very very busy. But here are some designs I made before Christmas. I apologise for the big space above I don't know why that is.
Name: British Antarctic Territory

Name: Ross Dependency
Country: Ne ZealandFlag: Official flag is the National flag of NZ although an unofficial flag exists which is a light blue NZ flag.

Name: Peter I Island and Queen Maud Land
Country: Norway

Name: Antártica
Country: Chilie

Name: Australian Antarctic Territory
Country: Australia
Flag: National flag of Australia no unique flag of its own.
Name: Marie Byrd Land

Now There is a flag of the Antartic Treaty :
This incorperates a map of the continent but itself is not a flag of Antarctica but the nations (both with territorial claims and none territorial claims) that have agreed to protect it.
I was thinking the above territories could use a collective flag similar way Europe uses the EU flag.
It features the Earth design but with a lighter blue and the 'A' logo with a half globe and hands from the flag designed by Whitney Smith . And a star for each territory.
Flags that I have designed for the territories that don't have flags are below.
Peter I Island, Norway flag with a light blue field.
Queen Maud Land. Light Blue Scandinavian cross on white, set in a dark blue Scandinavian cross on white.
Australian Antarctic Territory, Australia flag with light blue background on which the letters 'ATA' are occupying the space normally occupied by the Commonwealth star which has been moved to the fly.
Marie Bryd Land, Antartic flag design in hoist with a single star. Light blue field with a single white stripe. As this is unclaimed a representative of each territory should be on a governing council to meet when matters regarding this region arise.
Flags in this unless stated otherwise are not my designs
All Comments welcome
Nice flags! Look at this proposed flag to the "Norwegian Antarctic Territory".
