The .pdf file provided by the Commonwealth of Australia that depicts Australia's continental shelf confirmed by the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf shows something I find quite interesting: the recognition of Australian territorial waters along the coast of the Australiian AntarcticTerritory as well as exclusive rights to the adjacent continental shelf south of 60šS latitude. I confess, I'm ignorant as to the relationship between the 1961 Antarctic Treaty and the UN, so any illumination on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
