Flag of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition made by Mrs Jessie Bruce, wife of William S Bruce, leader of the 1902-1904 Scottish National Antarctic Expedition.
It was taken by Bruce on the expedition and displayed in several locations, such as off the newly discovered Coats Land on 12 March 1904.

Antarctic Vexillological Association "This is the flag of the Antarctic Treaty used by the permanent Antarctic Treaty Secretariat (ATS); its headquarters are in Buenos Aires. This flag can also be used by the countries which joined the treaty and hoist the annual CPAT meetings (28 states with statute of consultative parties and 17 more as non consultative)".
Antarctic Vexillological Association These are Antarctic patches I've collected over the years that feature flags on them.
Antarctic Vexillological Association The flag is a pennant shape and is green in colour with a rampant leopard seal over the letters ANARE, which is positioned on an upturned boomerang shaped flash. It is flown at all Australian Antarctic stations in occupancy and at home base offices in Australia.
Antarctic Vexillological Association Micronations are countries (imaginary in the case of Antarctica since no resident of these "nations" are actually in Antarctica) that have been created by individuals rather than governments. In populated areas, micronations can exist on an oil drilling platform in the middle of the ocean or even in someone's apartment.
Antarctic Vexillological Association Hey everyone...Thanks for joining the AVA! We've just passed over 100 members. Tell your friends, tell your neighbors. Can we reach 200+ members?
Antarctic Vexillological Association Since there is no official Antarctic flag, these are proposals that people have made over the years.
Antarctic Vexillological Association Signatory, Consultative and Acceding members of the Antarctic Treaty.
