Uruguayan Antarctica (Spanish: Antártida Uruguaya) is the sector of Antarctica where Professor Julio César Musso believes the Oriental Republic of Uruguay should exercise its sovereignty. It was not assigned a specific definition nor meant a territorial claim, but rather was intended as an area of natural action of the southern maritime projection of Uruguay. Uruguay is part of the Antarctic Treaty System as a consulting member, and it reserved the right to make a territorial claim.[1]
