Marie Byrd Land, located in West Antarctica west of the Antarctic Peninsula, is basically the only place in Antarctica not officially claimed any any Country on Earth. It is located entirely within the Western Hemisphere and is known for its lack of penguins relative to other parts of Antarctica.
It's the subject of an American "solid basis for claim" in Antarctica, which has not been formally claimed as a whole as US territory despite having relatively substantial US presence. Named after US citizen Marie Byrd, the wife of US Rear Admiral Richard Byrd, prior Presidents including FDR have planned on establishing a claim there, but only Lewis & Clark style exploration and basebuilding (particularly as part of Operation Deep Freeze and the International Geospatial Year) occurred.
Marie Byrd Land is American territory, and we have a very strong basis to claim it. It's really our land; at present, there are only US citizens in Marie Byrd Land and not citizens of any foreign nation, except maybe those foreign guests who reside in the Amundsen-Scott base which is a US Antarctic Program base. There is even a highway linking our Marie Byrd Land with the New Zealand Ross Antarctic Dependency.
We already have bases, history, legitimacy, flags, airports, and even a highway going through Marie Byrd Land. Why not just claim it as American soil officially? It's ours.
