Abstract
The Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf has granted Australia extended continental shelf
areas around two of its sub-Antarctic island groups, and these extend into the Antarctic Treaty area. The
overlap potentially raises conflict between Australian and Antarctic interests. Australia’s submission
included and expressly excluded Antarctic data and its high-latitude diplomacy paid off, but its next
steps will be crucial to gaining acceptance by other Antarctic Treaty parties. It is likely that any resource
exploitation will stop at the fence (601 South) during the life of the Treaty.
