The Antarctic flag has not been officially adopted as the national flag for the Antarctic region, as there is no official government or country for the region. However, there are a number of flags associated with Antarctica and used to represent the region in various contexts.
One of these flags is a white flag with a blue cross surmounted by a white circle which surrounds a terrestrial globe with Antarctica in relief. This flag was created by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1972 and is often used to represent international cooperation in scientific research and environmental protection in Antarctica .
There are also other flags associated with Antarctica, such as the Antarctic Convention flag, which is a white flag with a blue cross and a red coat of arms representing the states signatories to the Convention. This flag is used to represent international cooperation in the management and protection of Antarctica.
