Queen Maud Land is a region in Antarctica, named after Queen Maud of Norway. It was claimed by Norway in 1939 and covers an area of about 2.7 million square kilometers. The region is characterized by its vast ice sheets, mountain ranges, and glaciers, making it a significant area for scientific research. The landscape of Queen Maud Land includes notable features such as the Lutzow-Holm Bay and the Gamburtsev Mountain Range. The area is largely uninhabited, with only a few research stations operated by various countries. Its extreme climate and remote location present challenges for exploration and study.
