Norway's claim actually does extend all the way to the south pole. On older maps it's only shown not to, because in the original wording of the claim the southern border was not explicitly defined. A few years ago Norway clarified that the claim actually extends all the way down to the pole. That "extension" was not a new claim, as that would have contradicted the Antarctic Treaty, but merely a clarification about the details of the original claim.

[@miguelrodriguezcimino1674]

@David Shi Would you go to Antartica to give birth to your children so you have something to hold as a territorial claim? I bet you would not. Neither would any sane person living in Argentina or Chile. If there have been people born there, it was because their parents were there conducting research projects and they miscalculated the birth date or their plans to go back to the continent suffered some sort of unpredicted delay. If the babies were given Argentinean or Chilean nationality, that was because they were born in Argentinean or Chilean research bases, and the same rule as being born at sea applies where babies have the nationality of the vessel's country flag.
