	Australian Antarctic Territory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It consists of all the islands and territory south of 60° S and between 44°38' E and 160° E, except for Adélie Land (136°11' E to 142°02' E), which divides the territory into Western AAT (the larger portion) and Eastern AAT.
		It is bounded by Queen Maud Land in the West and by Ross Dependency in the East.
		However, since Australia's signature of the Antarctic Treaty, territorial claims are effectively suspended, and the Australian Antarctic Division administers the area primarily by supporting various research projects.

	The Heritage Network
		As early as 1810, various territorial claims south of 50 degrees south latitude were being made for Britain and from 1933 to 1948 significant British territories south of 60 degrees south latitude were progressively ceded to Australia.
		However, it may be claimed that the Antarctic Treaty precludes AAT beyond 60 degrees south latitude from being included in these declarations as it could be seen to breach terms prohibiting any enhancement of territorial claims there during the life of the treaty.
		The Antarctic Treaty did not extinguish national sovereignty beyond 60 degrees south latitude but rather was intended to diffuse any potential rivalry resulting from such territorial claims while ensuring the long-term protection of Antarctica.

		With a revival in the whaling industries and increasing international interest in the Antarctic, Mawson was keen to affirm Australia's interest in Antarctica.
		He proposed a two-year research expedition working eastwards along the Antarctic coast south of Australia, from Enderby Land to the Ross Sea, surveying the coast with the use of aircraft.
		With support from three governments the British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) was formed under Mawson's command and set sail for the Antarctic in October 1929.
