<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; Parece Vela is a joke (albeit a joke strenghtened by concrete). So<br/>

 </span></blockquote>You obviously know a fair amount about Okino Tori Shima / Parece <br/>
Vela - I&#39;ve found it difficult to discover anything about the place. <br/>
What&#39;s the significance of the concrete?<br/>
<br/>
Another odd thing about our favourite maritime boundary map <br/>
(http://www.maritimeboundaries.com) is the EEZ indicated around the <br/>
South Sandwich Islands - the southern extension of this looks to be <br/>
well past 60 degrees south, the latitude at which the Antarctic <br/>
Treaty kicks in. If all territorial claims are in abeyance, surely <br/>
the EEZ should cut of that boundary?<br/>
