This category is for articles relating to the area of Antarctica located between longitudes 160° E and 150° W. This area is known as the Ross Dependency. New Zealand administers the area, and is a claimant to it, although these claims are suspended under the terms of the Antarctic Treaty System.
The area contains several notable scientific bases, and the world's largest ice shelf, the Ross Ice Shelf. It is one of the most intensively explored parts of the frozen continent.
