Antarctica

The commonly used flag of Antarctica features a white silhouette of the Antarctic continent on a blue background. Blue represents the surrounding Southern Ocean and international cooperation, while the white continent symbolizes peace, science, neutrality and the continent's pristine icy environment.

Antarctica has no official national flag because it is not a sovereign state. Several unofficial flags have been proposed over the years, with the white continent on a blue field becoming one of the most widely recognized symbols. It reflects the principles of peaceful scientific research established under the Antarctic Treaty System.
