Adélie Land — De Facto Map

Adélie Land — Adélie Land · Frozen by the Antarctic Treaty · France.

Interactive de facto map of Adélie Land, a territory of France. France's claim, a narrow wedge of coast between 136°11′E and 142°02′E (Paris decrees 136°E–142°E), discovered by Dumont d'Urville in 1840 and part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands since 1955. The Dumont d'Urville station stands on its coast. Frozen, like every claim, by the Antarctic Treaty of 1959. Explore Adélie Land on the map alongside the other overseas holdings of France, drawn as they are administered on the ground.
