Queen Elizabeth Land

Queen Elizabeth Land is a portion of mainland Antarctica named by the government of the United Kingdom and forming 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.
