 </span></blockquote>Peter I Island lies south of 60S, and so comes under the terms of the <br/>
Antarctic Treaty: we&#39;re therefore thinking of it as part of <br/>
Everyone&#39;s Land. <br/>
If we ignore the Antarctic Treaty, then Peter I isn&#39;t isolated enough <br/>
to form a separate island in the high seas: it is only about 200nm <br/>
from the Antarctic mainland. This also applies to the most isolated <br/>
island in Antarctic Treaty territory: Scott Island is less than 300nm <br/>
from Cape Adare, and so its 200nm zone would link up with the 200nm <br/>
zone around Antarctica.<br/>
So the whole of Antarctic Treaty territory potentially forms a single <br/>
huge EEZ island, cut off from its two closest neighbours: from <br/>
the &quot;world mainland&quot; by the Drake Passage, and from South Georgia and <br/>
the South Sandwich Islands by the Scotia Sea.<br/>
