Eduadorian Antarctic Territory Territorio Ecuatoriano Antártico is Ecuador's territorial claim in Antarctica. Ecuador's territorial claim partially overlaps that of Argentina, with the remainder located in an otherwise unclaimed sector of Ellesworth Land.

History
In 1967 Ecuador's national assembly passed a law officially claiming that portion of Antarctica between 84 ° 30 'W and 96 ° 30'W as Ecuadorian territory. The claim is specifically based on the frontage theory, which proposes that Antarctica should be divided up among the countries which face it latitudinally across the open sea.

Population
Ecuador's only Antarctic research base, Maldonado Base, is located in the South Shetland islands outside of the borders of Ecuadorian Antarctic Territory. The Ecuadorian Antarctic Territory itself is completely devoid of habitation, and lacks research stations from any nation.
