| The South
Orkney Islands are a group of islands in the Southern
Ocean. The South Orkneys consist of four major islands -
Coronation, Signy, Powell and Laurie. The islands have
been administered as part of British Antarctic Territory
since 1962 and prior to this as a Falkland Islands
Dependency. Under the Antarctic Treaty 1959, the Islands'
sovereignty is neither recognized nor disputed by the
signatories and they are free for use by any signatory
for non-military use. The islands are claimed by
Argentina which has maintained a permanent base there
since 1904. No privately released notes of South Orkney Islands have been discovered. If there's any activity on the island, the British Pound is used as a local
currency. |
