Oates Land

Kart over Oates land

Oates Land er en sektor i Øst-Antarktis. Australske myndigheter definerer utstrekningen av Oates Land til mellom 155 og 164 grader øst. Mesteparten av området inngår i Australian Antarctic Territory, men det strekker seg også inn i Ross Dependency, New Zealands kravområde i Antarktis.[1] Det overlapper dermed delvis med Victoria Land, som har en utstrekning fra Rosshavet i øst til Polarplatået i vest.[2] I vest grenser det til George V Land.

Kyststrekningen fra Cape Hudson ved 153°45' øst til Cape Williams ved 164°09' kalles Oateskysten.[3]

Området er kalt opp etter polfareren Lawrence Oates som mistet livet på tilbaketuren fra Sørpolen med Robert F. Scott i mars 1912.[1]
