This article is about the Antarctic region. For the Cocteau Twins album, see Victorialand. For the Canadian island formerly called Victoria Land, see Victoria Island (Canada).
Victoria Land is a region in eastern Antarctica which fronts the western side of the Ross Sea and the Ross Ice Shelf, extending southward from about 70°30'S to 78°00'S, and westward from the Ross Sea to the edge of the Antarctic Plateau.[1] It was discovered by Captain James Clark Ross in January 1841 and named after Queen Victoria.[1] The rocky promontory of Minna Bluff is often regarded as the southernmost point of Victoria Land, and separates the Scott Coast to the north from the Hillary Coast of the Ross Dependency to the south.
